Document Summary
Things to bear in mind: editing, which governs relation of one shot to the next, can be seen as an additive and subtractive process. Additive: it strings together diverse shots together the shots of a film. Subtractive: it allows each shot to replace the shot that precedes it. Editing is a procedure that does not affect the content of the image. It has no influence on the actual material that will appear on the screen. Editing influences the structure of the material presented. The khoolishov effect: has to do with idea that a film performance gets constructed through not only the actor"s performance but also the way an actor"s performance is paired with other images. Here, editing can help create meaning by producing a context. Editing allows a transition from one shot to another. Most common transition = the straight cut also known as cut which is an instantaneous switch from one shot to another.
