Editing is where you take everything you’ve filmed and decide on what to keep and how to show it.
It’s how you shape time and the mood and pace of your film.
Continuity editing is where you put your shots together as smoothly as possible so your story flows.
But you can still change how this feels by changing the length of shots, or how they go together.
Shot order matters too: showing someone react before revealing what they react to feels different from putting the reveal first.
Cuts are the basic building blocks of editing.
A fade or dissolve can help show time passing.
And a montage of quick shots can jump time really fast.
Editing is more that putting the pieces of your story together, it’s a creative process in itself and your final chance to change and shape the story you tell and how it feels.
