Editing Styles: Traditional & Narrative

Permutations: Multiplication principle of combinatorics – we need to apply to the total permutations. This is a great opportunity to use shorthand factorial notion. 4!=4 divide 3 divide 2 divide 1 = 24
Continuity Edit: It combines related shots into a sequence without.
Cutaways & Inserts: Cutaway – it takes the audience away from the main action or subject, showing a view outside of the main character’s environment.
Insert: any shot with the purpose to focus the views attention to specific detail within a scene. Usually a close up of a close up.
Reaction Shot: Demonstrates how the characters within the story respond to the issue at hand. Edit must include these responses to create emotion and make the message clear.
Match on Action: Editor cuts from one shot to another and matches the action of the shots. The sequence has a better flow to it if you cut on the action, instead of cutting within pauses. every cut remains ecstatic so that the motion feels fluid.
Cross Cut: Also known as parallel editing , cut between two different scenes that are happening at the same time in different spaces. Through the use of cross cutting You can tell two simultaneous stories at once.
