Research- Editing Miss B

 Editing

straight cut- when one shot is moved to another shot in an edit and it does not confuse the audience.
fade to black- when one shot goes/ moves into another, and there is a black filter in-between. It is created to give the audience a time to think.
wipe out- when the shot slides into another. it is usually in cartoons. One of the most popular films they were used in is the Star Wars series.
dissolve- when one shot disintegrates into another. The length of the fade can be used to symbolize different things.
reaction shot- any shots but it is often used as a cut-away in which a subject reacts to a pervious shot

180 degrees rule- imagine a hypothetical line drawn between two or more actors. The camera must not shoot on the other side of the line this is because it can confuse the audience and will nit be consisted to the 180 degrees rule.  

shot revered shot- when the camera is a simple cut and when the characters are looking at each so since they are facing in opposite directions, the viewer assume that they are looking at the other. shots are mainly in classical film.


jump cut- a drastic camera movement that is noticeable to the eye. This type of edit gives the effect of jumping forwards in time. It is a manipulation of temporal space using the duration of a single shot, and fracturing the duration to move the audience ahead.

Examples of  editing in thriller films:

Montage is the speed of editing which shows the main part of the scene.  A montage has been shown in 'Psycho' shower scene as the antagonist is being killed by a unknown murderer. The shots quickly move to anther shot which creates tension and suspense towards the audience also this creates curiosity as the audience want to see more. This is conventional to a thriller genre as montage is suppose to create tension and also excitements towards the audience.
