TYPES OF EDITING

TYPES OF EDITING

DISCONTINUITY EDITING

vs CONTINUITY EDITING

NON-LINEAR EDITING

CUTS:

• Cutting/Match on action 
• Cutaway, add an Insert Shot
• Cross-Cut
• Jump Cut
• Match Cut, this video says:  "jumps from one shot to a similiar shot by either matching the action or the composition", change in space mostly but also in time, it is not cutting on action because we are changing to a different moving subject/action, where as with cutting on action we're still following the same subject. Like in The Two Towers, when Gandalf falls after trying to heal the king 
• Verbal Match Cut, the diegetic sound spoken by one character is, is not the same as an audio bridge, because we there we can't see the first part spoken, here one sentence is completed by the other (like in Candalabra)

TRANSITIONS:

• Fade In + Fade Out
• Dissolve (The panning shot from one to another of Billy's room)
• Smash Cut, sudden abrupt change, often waking up from a dream (if I had done the dream where Billy dreams of kissing Rachel)
• Iris, an alternate way of cutting to or zooming in on a close-up 
• Wipes, simple square, or can be different types of shapes (like with the pool table)
• Invisible Cut, where it's made to look like that it's still one single take, but it really is done through camera angles, like in whip pans, or mise-en-scene, like lighting
• L-Cut, audio carries over but is different 
• J-Cut, same as audio bridge? Also difference that sometimes diegetic sound turns into non-diegetic sound. Also "the audio of the next scene starts before you get to it", you hear what's going on before you see what's going on. Also great to introduce a new element of a scene(Tom Hanks stepping on piano and hearing it before we see it)

Both L- and J-Cut are designed to create a seamless flow, continuity editing, to make it look real, to achieve verisimilitude.
