Editing - Done -

Editing is used in a scene to add to the emotion created within the scene , it can control the pace , tension and feeling by speeding up or slowing down a scene. There are many editing styles such as ; reaction shot , slow editing , fast editing and others , they all are based on the types of camera shots and enhcnace the effect and emotion created in the scene.

Slow pace editing : This describes when the number of edits are minimum and don't directly take place after each other , this can be used to create suspense or a feeling of calm depending on the nature of the scene.

Fast pace editing : This is when edits are seen straight after each other , this speeds up the scene and can add to the high pace atmosphere and the affect of the adrenaline in the scene, therefore making the audience scared and anticipate where the scene is going to end up.

Straight cut : This is when the current cut goes straight into the other , this can create an effect of suprise.

Fade to black : this is a edit which ussally closes the scene , the current shot slowy fades into a black colour and you can't see nothing , this edit is used to reflect the ending of the scene.However it can also be used in the middle of the scene , to create a fear factor as it cut go into another edit at any time and therefiore create a shocking suprise.

Wipe cut : When one edit slides into another from a horizantal view , this can be effective as it can change into another shot at a effective speed without changing the mood of the scene.

Dissolve : this type of edit describes when the scene slowly disintragets into another scene , this is effective as it doesn't change the mood of the scene , and can go straight into another characters perspective. This is also effective as it is a quick translation.

Jump cut : a jump cut is when the shot jumps straight into another angle or scene. This is used to enchance the emoton of the scene and is mostly used within a fight scene , where you can see both of the characters trying to defeat one another , this becomes effective because you can see the fight between different angles.

Montage : this describes a collection of edits within a small period of time within an scene , this is mainly used to reflect a memory from a character.

A shot reverse shot : this includes three shots which start with the main orginal shot then goes to another then back to the orginal shot , this is mainly used within a tense talking scene where the characters are listening to eachother , this is effective as you can witness the characters reactions to each and this creates a realistic scene , and you see who is talking at the right time.

180 Rule : this describes the rule where you can only see the scene from a point behind the line , this is because it will change the poinsting of the characters within the scene.



Editing within the use of the film 'physo' follows these rules , the scene is in a shower where the vitcim is powerless , the build up up to the scene contains 15 edits , wheres as the attack happens we can identify 32 edits , this is effective as it adds to the fear factor and creates a tense scene , in which we witness a horrific attack.

Reaction shot : is used in physco starting with the curtain being with drwan , the next shot goes to a close up of the woman screaming , this is a reaction shot because we see the womans reaction to the pervuois shot , this is effective because this moment changes the mood of the scene as from here on the editing becomes much faster and the mood because more aggressive and intense.



Attainment from researching editing - 

From analysing and explaining the features of editing i discovered where and how to include the editing styles into my film. I also discovered which editings styles create certain effects and learnt which ones i want to include for example , i will include a shot reverse shot , when there is a dialogue scene to show the audiecne the chracaters reaction to the others characters speech . By learning the editing effects i also gained expeierecne on how to add to the audiecnes pleasure via the use of the editing styles and therefore have had a further influence on my films potentional sucess.Furthermore , by anaysling other films editing , we were able to delevop points in our film where we adjusted the pace of our scene to reflect the emotions in the scene for example if the character was nervous the camera may shake or translate faster , which therefore would also the audiecne to gain a further understanding of the characters emotions.
