technique. It stops a scene then goes on to another creating a transition in- between scenes. CONTINUITY EDITING
It creates an even transition
from scenes without jarring or immediate differences. Basically one movement to another. CROSS CUTTING
Cuts back and forth
between 2 scenes, makes it appear to be happening at the same time. Like a phone call scene GRAPHIC MATCH CUT
Ends a shot with a frame
with the same component, like shape, colour, size and so on. Using a smooth transition makes it seem the 2 shots are related. MONTAGE EDITING
Edited in series of short
shots that are edited into a cycle (space, time and information). Usually used to suggest the passage of time, show growth and or change of a character. Used to pass time.
