STYLES OF EDITING.

Straight cut- 

              Is the most common and invisible form of transition? The one shot moves instantaneously to the next without attracting the audience’s attention. Also straight cuts help retain reality. They do not break the viewers suspension of disbelief.

Dissolves-

Dissolving is a shot fading off the screen whilst another shot is fading in.if the producer of the film wants to show connections between two characters or objects and settings within the movie.

Jump cut- 

A jump cut is when the audience attention is brought to concentration very suddenly. It occurs by breaking the continuing editing and it also appears as if a section of the part of the film has been removed. This type of edit gives the effect of jumping forwards in time.

Graphic match-

 It is useful in relating two disconnected scenes or in helping to establish a relationship between two scenes.  It is connected by ending one shot with a frame containing the same compositional elements (shape, colour, size, etc.) as the beginning frame of the next shot, a connection is drawn between the two shots with a smooth transition

 The bone that was thrown by the ape in 2001 in  A Space Odyssey becomes a space station. This cut helped to make the transition from the past Neanderthal world to the future 2001 also in physcho the example we see the water draining away as the shot slowly becomes the victims eye, lifeless.

Wipes

A wipe is an image that is shoved off the screen by another either to the left or right.it is more common for the picture the wipe is the most common used technique where one shot is replaced by another by the movement of an edge, or line, which replaces the previous shot by “wiping” it. By revealing a new scene, environment or space the wipe offers a spatial or temporal transition to the director.it is used signal a movement between different locations that are experience the same time.

Fades

A fade is a gradual darkening or lightening of an image until it becomes black or white. The shot will fade off until only one black or white screen can be seen by the audience.it is used in films to indicate the end of a certain section of time within the story line and it can also show the time passing by.
