Types of cut:
- Cutting on action
- Cut away
- Cross cut
- Jump cut
- Match cut
- Fade in/ fade out
- Dissolve
- Smash cut
- Iris
- Wipe
- Invisible wipe
- L-cut - audio transitions from one shot to another
- J-cut - when the audio starts for the next scene before you see it
Editing is to prepare a media text for publication by correcting, condensing, or otherwise modifying it. Its a stage ini the film making process in which sound and imaged are organised to contract an overall narrative.
The
key word in continuity is CONTINUE, to make sure things are continuous.
An example of match on action is in 'the matrix' where the man is punched and he bleeds from his mouth and then it cuts to another scene where his also bleeding from his mouth. Therefor matching the action.
Shot reverse shot is when a shot goes from shot A, shot B, shot A, shot B etc. It goes continuously back and forth between the 2 shots to show there is a connection between them. It is often used in conversations so you see what both characters are saying.
In the clip from the 'The Matrix' a dissolve cut is used to show the changing of the alien to a human. This is found at 0:10 in the video. At 0:39 slow motion is used to show the actor dodging the bullets. At 0.05 a match cut is used. At 0:02 a cut away is used.
Examples of Causes of continuity errors
- Shots/angles
- Costume/props
- Lighting etc
0:30 - drink changes from orange juice to water
0:35 shirt changes from purple to white
0:44 wine bottles appear
0:44 another shirt change
0:51 lady disappears
0:57 food changes
Continuity editing: 180 degree rule
Purpose:
Is to orientate the
viewer, to establish the placement of characters. Breaking
the 180 rule, it will place the characters in a different place.C

Continuity
editing: match on action
Is
multiple cuts to show one continuous
action. Match
on action is part of invisible editing which creates flow when watching a
scene.The
cuts MATCH together so that the audience know it is one action.

Shot reverse shot is when a shot goes from shot A, shot B, shot A, shot B etc. It goes continuously back and forth between the 2 shots to show there is a connection between them. It is often used in conversations so you see what both characters are saying.
Eye-line match:
Shot A: character is looking off screen
Shot B: what character is looking at
Is a following shot that follows what
character is looking at, makes cuts smoother the audience expects the cut to
happen and is eager to see what happens next/what character sees.
Example,
a)A
person’s phone rings, she turns and looks in direction of phone
b)Close
up shot of phone ringing
Cross cutting:
Technique of continuously
alternating 2 or more scenes that often happen simultaneously (at same time)
but in different locations. As they cross, pace gradually gets faster and
fast and tension builds. Often the parallel scenes will intersect to
create a climax.
In film,
an insert is
a shot of part of a scene as filmed from a different angle and/or
focal length from the master shot (original/establishing shot). Inserts
cover action already covered in the master shot, but emphasize a different
aspect of that action due to the different framing.
An
insert differs from a cutaway as cutaways cover action not covered
in the master
Example
CLOSE-UP
of the gunfighter,
INSERT of his hand quivering above the holster
TWO SHOT of his friends watching anxiously
INSERT of the clock ticking.
