Editing: The Invisible Art
• How can editing build tension and pace?:By using music and many different shots getting faster towards the end of the scene mainly using both music and cutting and can be very effective and changing the frequency throughout the scene.
• What is crosscutting?:Cutting from 1 person to another to compare there progress and then show the audience to show a reaction shot these can be made up of different shots from XCU to LS.
• What are reaction shots?:Reaction shots are shots used to show the reaction of a audience/spectators of a event in which the character is doing someone e.g. he's racing up a hill and nearly falls and then cuts to show the audience's reaction.
• What is seamless editing? Its when the audience is caught up in the action that they don't notice the editing and shot cutting and automatically fill in the gaps because the audience is used to the situation.
• What is a jump cut?:When its jumps from one part of the scene to another part but staying to the same scene but cutting out sections at a time which can how a great effect when its used properly e.g. when the person is talking and you can jump to a shot of them thinking then jump to a shot of them answering.
• What is a flash back and what does it achieve?:A flash back is when the person is reminded of something in the past that had happened and the scene will cut to the flash back to show that memory or event, it can be used to achieve a back story to a person or situation which will help the audience get a better understanding of whats going on e.g. in Sweeny Todd it starts off by Sweeny in London and he starts telling the story of why he hates London and as he is doing so it shows flash backs which help the audience get a better understanding of what happened before and why he feels the way he does.
• How can editing be used poetically?:It makes the audience think which makes it a active viewing which makes the audience try to work out the relationship between the things shown or situation.
