Introduction to Editing Techniques

There are many different editing techniques that are needed to create a mini brief. All of these techniques merge work together and all techniques play a very important role in making the mini brief. An example of a technique would be a 'shot-reverse-shot.' This shot is when two characters are communicating and the camera films one of the character, then films the others response and then go back to the original character. This shot is an important shot to use as it reveals to the audience the communication and emotion of the two characters speaking.

Another example of an editing technique would be 'match in action.' This is when action is happening in the middle of a scene and the camera is moved to different angles but staying on the same people.
This is done to create different perspectives of the characters for the audience.

Thirdly another well-used example of an editing technique would be the 180 degree rule. This is a rule set to rule out the temptation of filming on character from one side and then going to the other side and filming the other character. This would not be visually correct and wold not look professional. The rule is a line the is 'drawn' between two characters so the camera does not cross it.
