Duration

• Establishing a fast/slow rhythm of a scene
• Creating gaps between Diegetic time and screen
  time.
• Long Take shot that takes an unusual length of
  time before transitioning to the next.
• Overlap Editing Cuts that repeat part or all of
  an action
• Rhythm Rate and regularity of sounds, series of
  shots, and movements within a shot.

3
Continuity Editing

• A system of cutting to maintain continuous and
  clear narrative action
• The film supports the viewer's assumption that
  space and time are contiguous between successive
  shots
• This sense of a consistent space is reinforced by
  the use of techniques such as the eyeline match
  or match on action.

4
Montage

  but are edited together randomly.
• Montage
• Often these are used in movie trailers or
  compilation videos.

5
Matte Shot

• Similar to that of Photo-shopping two unlike
  images together.
• This gives you the ability to place a real object
  in an unreal location.

6
Elliptical Editing

• Shot transitions that omit parts of an event
  causing and ellipses in plot and story duration.
  - dissolves and jump cuts are used often through
  this type of editing.
• Editing that is not in sequential order of the
  story.
