Editing

Hello.
So as you know, editing plays an important part in the production of any film, its taking the raw footage and making it into the film that the audience will see.

What is editing?
Putting the clips together in a way that makes sense to the audience.
Joining the clips together.
Adding special effects and transitions.
Adding sound and credits.

Transitions:
These are ways of joining two clips together. The most common transition is a straight cut, going straight from one clip to the next. However there are many more advanced transition, for example:
- Dissolve: A gradual transition from one clip to another, they fade together. It could be used to indicate the passing of time.
- Fade: Usually fades to black or white to indicate time passing or flashbacks, dreams, etc.
- Wipe: A ine moves across the screen with the original clip on one side, the new one moving across it. Could be used to represent the passing of time or a change in lcoation.
- Jump-cut: An abrupt cut between clips for a dramatic effect.

Diegetic sound: Sounds that would be heard inside the film, like dialogue, ambient sounds and so on.
Non-diegetic sound: Sound added to the film during the editing process, like music and sound effects.
