Types of Editing



Cutting on action-it's when an editor cuts in the middle of an action to another shot that matches the first shot's action (https://youtu.be/yL9rSwrsMHw?t=189)

Cut away-it's the interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else (https://youtu.be/_CImWc7og28?t=109)

Cross cut-it's the editing technique of switching back and forth between scenes (https://youtu.be/xds1NklC-Gs?t=63)

Jump cut-it's an editing technique that cuts between two sequential shots (https://youtu.be/pAFUn4Dwk54?t=44)

Match cut-it's an edit in cinematography that uses elements of one scene (https://youtu.be/KALd3ynNH60?t=28)

Fade in/out-it's when a shot appears gradually out of darkness or disappears into darkness (https://youtu.be/RBAmLm_jYyY?t=90)

Dissolve-it's a gradual transition from one image to another (https://youtu.be/7z2Ignq93nE?t=115)

Smash cut-it's a sharp, abrupt cut from one scene to another (https://youtu.be/4TR1O6O5FqY?t=133)

Iris-it's when a black circle is used in a scene (https://youtu.be/YE7VzlLtp-4?t=486)

Wipe-it's when one shot is moved to another with a sliding animation (https://youtu.be/IK_iw5Yps2M?t=160)

Invisible cut-it's when two shots are made in one scene but we hardly notice it (https://youtu.be/n3bnMv3ULes?t=33)

L-cut-it's when the audio from the preceding scene continues to play over the footage from the following scene (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ek5qMsXHtU8&ab_channel=DutchHPfan1992)

J-cut-it's the reverse L-cut so we first hear and then see (https://youtu.be/d3EoAgv6A3s?t=108)

Average Short Film Budget

  Considering that the short film is obviously shorter than feature-length, the less locations take place, the less amount of actors involved, the production itself takes not so much time, so as a result the budget of these films will be way, way lower. Because my film is the Year 13 advanced portfolio, I am not going to have a budget and no one is going to be paid for production. However, while doing the filmmaking, we use the expensive equipment which is the digital camera, camera stand, microphone, sound recording.

Though in my opinion, for preliminary task the job was done pretty well, I still think that there are some aspects to improve. The first thing to which I payed attention to is the wind noise which interferes the audiences to immerse into the film. It happened because though I was given a mic, I found it useless because my extract didn't have any dialogues so as I thought, there was no point in regulating the sound, I was mistaken. When I start making my main task, I'll definitely use the mic in order to prevent such situations. Another thing which needs an improvement is the moment in extract when the protagonist sees the group of boys walking and then smiles. The thing is that in my script they had to be just one girl with whom male protagonist falls in love. In addition there had to be the close ups so the audiences would know what's so...
