In its basic form, editing regards the combining of shots. 

 

Throughout this presentation, we will be addressing some major elements of editing such as:

 

Cuts - two pieces of a film that have been cut and spliced together 

 

Fade - when an image darkens until the screen in black and lightens to reveal a new scene

 

Dissolve - a shot gradually disappears while a new shop appears over it

 

Wipe - one shot gradually replaces another as a line comes across the scene indicating the change between the two 

 

Graphic Match - similarities are shown between shape, size, tone, etc. 

 

180 Degree - the shots are assembled in a certain sense of space

 

Re/establishing Shot - shows the space a scene may take place in during the beginning of the scene or revisited later in the scene

 

Montage - a scene that shows a sequence of events in a process

 

Non Diegetic - a sense of explicit commentary that is added into the film in a sense of commentary
