Film editing. Film is time + space the core practice of classic cinema is editing for continuity [|Continuity Editing Techniques] (1) =**Some structures work again and again.** = Do you have the terminology? cuts dissolves fades graphic matches rhythmic editing quick edits slow edits rhythmic matches invisible editing

Invisible editing is key . It is the simple cut and the range of shots such as shot and reverse shot, which when put in timelines create a logic. e.g the establishing shos of opening scenes in films give us opportunity to accept interiors of these locations

Spatial editing  is important too. The order the editor gives the shots sets up a relationship between one and another. Think, shot/counter shot. There must be a link between two shots. Seek it out.These relationships contribute to meaning. Eye- line matching and matches on action are all part of spatial editing. Then there is cross cutting jump cuts and inserts( the inserts are nondiegetic. http://listing-index.ebay.com/movies/Non-diegetic_insert.html http://shea.mit.edu/ramparts/commentaryguides/glossary/filmlexicon.htm

Temporal editing  is the other consideration. This changes the order of events. flashbacks flashforwards ellipses cutaway shots montage sequences increasing time freeze frames

Ask for a handout on editing.

Note. There is a wolrd renowned editing facility in New Zealand called PARKROAD POST. It belongs to Weta. Drive past it in Mirimar one day when you are in the Wellington region. Read the Weta newsletters.
