Different methods of editing

Different methods of editing 

Straight cut

Most common and invisible form of transition. Where one shot moves instantaneously to the next without attracting the audiences attention. Straight cuts also, help to retain reality. They do not break the viewers suspense of disbelief. 

Jump cut

Jump cuts is where the audiences attention us brought into focus on something suddenly. This occurs by breaking the continuity editing. This is known as discontinuity and appears as if a section of the sequence has been removed. 

Dissolve

Is where an image fades from one shot off the screen while another shot is fading in. The audience will be able to see both shots on the screen at the mid-point of the dissolve. If the film wants to slow a connection between two characters this is the way.

Fades

Gradual darkening or lightening of an image until it becomes black or white. One shot will fade until onaly a black or white screen will be seen and this is to indicate the end of a particular section of time within the narrative that may show the passing of time. 

Wipes

One image is pushed off the screen by another by a wipe. Images can be pushed left or right. more common for the image to be pushed off the left-hand side, as this movement is more consistent with the sense of time moving forward. 

Graphic match

When two consecutive shots are matched in terms of the way they look. Film-makers can choose to place shots in a certain order to create a smooth visual transfer.
