Editing Determines…
• What we see• When we see it• How we see it

Definition and Purpose
• Editing is the process of combining shots in sequential order
• A shot is one or more exposed frame• Frames>Shots>Scenes>Sequence>Movie
![Page 5: Intro to Digital Editing Prof Oakes. Overview Definition and Purpose Key Components (Picture/Sound/Transitions) Narrative Continuity (Classical Cutting)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/5697bfcf1a28abf838caa227/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Making a Movie
• Pre-production (script, rehearsals, storyboard) • Production (Shooting: Principal Photography)• Post-production
– Editing– Titles and Effects– Sound (adr, effects, score)
• Release

Key Components of Editing
• Editing Picture• Editing Sound (Covered Later)• Creating Optical Transitions/Effects
![Page 7: Intro to Digital Editing Prof Oakes. Overview Definition and Purpose Key Components (Picture/Sound/Transitions) Narrative Continuity (Classical Cutting)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/5697bfcf1a28abf838caa227/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Non-Linear Editing
• Uses Digital Video Technology• Access to any one frame as easily as another• The equivalent to “cut and paste” in word processing• Changes are easy to make and undo• Non-Destructive - Uses original material as source
but creates a new copy with edits• Originally film and video editing was linear and
destructive (source material was modified)

Reasons for a cut
• Narrative• Visual Interest • Dramatic Emphasis• Variety of shot types• Correction of continuity problems created
during shooting

Actualities
• Earliest films had no cuts• One long shot without camera movement• Producers originally thought cuts would
confuse the audience

Continuity
• There are several methods of editing but this lecture focuses on Classical (Hollywood) Editing
• Editing is sometimes called cutting because the film used to be physically cut with scissors and glued together
• Editing is generally motivated by narrative continuity
![Page 13: Intro to Digital Editing Prof Oakes. Overview Definition and Purpose Key Components (Picture/Sound/Transitions) Narrative Continuity (Classical Cutting)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/5697bfcf1a28abf838caa227/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Classical Continuity Editing
• Started in the early 1900’s: The Great Train Robbery (Porter) and Way Down East (Griffith)
• Inserts (Cutaway)• Parallel Editing• Storytelling methods were established that
are still used today in film and television

Narrative Continuity
• Maintains the cause-effect order of the story• Gives the viewer a clear sense of time and
space within the story• Creates a smooth flow between shots • Keeps the audience “in the picture”• Avoids “jump-cuts”

A Classical Hollywood Sequence…
• Camera moves closer and shots grow shorter as emotional intensity builds– Establishing Long Shot– Medium shot of characters– Shot/Reverse-Shot during dialogue– Occasional Insert (Cutaway)
• Dramatic climax is filmed in a close-up on the actor’s face
