Editing Styles

Went over a powerpoint in class about editing styles! These are becoming really helpful, since I know nothing about editing. Here are some brief notes I took, these are gonna help me a lot when I start to edit. I hope to achieve a style of editing that helps find the vibe of the film. 

Continuity Editing = shots are cut together in a clear and linear flow of uninterrupted action (used to keep a continuous sense of time and space) 

Montage = a sequence of shots (usually juxtaposing one another), creates an emotional impact for the audience 

Ellipsis/Elliptical Editing = this type of editing is basically a narrative device used to allow an event's duration on-screen to be shorter than its duration in the story

Cheat Cut = editing in which there is continuous time from shot to shot but it does not math the position of objects in the shot or scene
