This blog post contains the work I did on how to edit successfully. My teacher filmed the footage but i edited it together. My teacher also provided the template for the blog post.
Why is continuity editing important?
Continuity editing includes making sure that items like props or costumes stay consistent from scene to scene. But the more important work lies in editing shots together in a way that leaves viewers thoroughly grounded in both time and space.
Different types of continuity edit
- Straight cut (cut)
- Eyeline match
- Shot /reverse shot
- Cutaway / Insert
*Match cut
Footage
Here is the footage that my teacher shot which utilises a variety of camera angles and movements. The scene is very simple, it involves a student standing up and leaving the classroom. A single shot here might be quite boring for the audience, by editing and combining the shots together we can make the scene feel more dynamic.
My editing process
Reflection : this project helped me because ive never edited that way before and it gave me a new point of view and I just realised how much detail is put into editing scenes that are sometimes not even that important. so movies are actually very detailed.
