Style Of Editing

What is Style of Editing?

Style of Editing is the way in which two different shots are linked together. Style of editing is the transition from one shot to another. There are different types of transitions and these are:



  1. The Straight Cut    -This is the most common type of transition in which the shots are linked together instantly. These shots are used to create the sense of realism. Even though the video above is an example of "Shot Reverse Shot", I find it to be a good example of the straight cut as straight cuts are used lots in this scene.



  1. Dissolve - This transition is used when one scene fades out while one scene fades in. This transition is used to create fluidity within the shots. When a dissolve transition is used, there is a time where you can see both scenes at the same. The transition can be used to show a passing of time or to link two characters, objects or places.



     
     1. Fade - This transition is used to show a longer passing of time. This transition is also used lots to show the end of films/tv shows. A transition is only considered to be a fade when you can see a clear black or white screen as seen in the video above.
