Document Summary
Editing: editing is both additive (shots are strung together) and subtractive (one shot must give way to another); it affects the structure of the presented material rather than the actual content of the image. Types of transitions: (straight) cut, fade-out/fade-in, dissolve, wipe, iris-out/iris-in. Dimensions of film editing: editing can control four different kinds of relations between a shot and a shot that follows: #1: graphic relations: editing can emphasize similarities or differences in graphic relations from shot to shot, a deliberately emphasized link between an aspect of shot a and a similar aspect of shot b is termed a graphic match. #2: rhythmic relations: rhythmic relations among shots are determined by the temporal duration of the shots; brief shots edited together typically create a quick tempo (accelerated editing). #3: spatial relations: editing can create relationships among spaces that don"t really exist, through crosscutting, editing can forge a relationship between two (or more) separated spaces.
