Film editing is the art, technique and practice of assembling shots into a coherent sequence. In the context of trailers, this often involves picking the best bits of a film. I have decided to focus to write an analysis in order to understand the contribution editing makes to the whole trailer.
Types of editing
Structure
- Continuity editing - also called invisible editing. In this, the editing is fluid and there are no transitions.
- Non linear - parts of footage taken from different points of the film. The footage is not consecutive.
- Linear - the story is a long consecutive sequence. Events are edited in the order that they happened
Transitions (a few examples)
- Fade to black
- Dissolve
- Fade to white
- Cross cutting
- Blur
- Cross dissolve
Cuts (a few examples)
- Jump cuts
- Cross cutting (also a transition)
