5 Essential Editing Techniques and When to Use Them : Cmd+Edit 020
from Command Edit Hosted by Nick Montgomery + Josh Short
We go down the list of 5 of the most common editing techniques and when they should be used in your project. Cutting on action, crossing the axis (breaking the 180-degree rule), reveal shots, jump cuts and cross-cutting are used in cinema all of the time. So much so that you probably have never noticed them when they are used most effectively. However they stand out like a sore thumb when misused. Using popular examples in movies that you probably have seen before (if not, you should obviously rush out and see them after listening to this), Josh and Nick discuss how you can use these techniques to tell a story better. Think of this as the first episode of Film Editing 101. What other techniques do you enjoy seeing on the big screen? Or using in your own timelines?
