Editing can mean many things however, the most common form being editing scenes together. They do this because it can give contexts to the viewer about what they are watching, the most common way is Linear story telling which means that it tells a story from the beginning to the middle and then the end. However, there's also Non-Linear story telling where the film shows something from the beginning in the middle, this is a flashback. The director Quentin Tarantino does this in his movie, 'The Hateful Eight'.
Different styles of editing can effect the viewer, for example in an action scene they can do a lot of quick cuts to show how sporadic it is and it can be slow paced to show that it's a calm environment devoid of danger. This is usually shown after an action scene to make sure the audience isn't overwhelmed.
The type of editing that I associate with Horror movies would be, hectic when focused on the scary creature however, it can also have slow editing to follow the character/s and build suspense on what's out there.
The type of editing that I associate with action movies would be quick cuts because when in action, showing off what the character/s can do and what they use in the scene. However, it can also have slower cuts to interrupt the action if the director wants to show how in control the character is in the situation. Slow cuts can also be used for character development, humour and exposition to explain plot points to the audience.

In camera editing is when instead of having cuts being put in after the movie is shot, it is instead done while it's actually being filmed by having the director tell people what cameras should be recording. It was a method used decades a go, however with how time has allowed technology to advance, it has eventually became obsolete and now no-one really uses it anymore.
Sergei Eisenstein was the first person to do montage editing from the 1930s. Montage editing allows film makers to make a scene that would probably take a long time to show only take a few minutes. The most common example of montage editing would be the training montage where the main character trains for months in the film, however it's only shown in quick snippets that last a few seconds so that the audience can understand what's going on. The most famous training montage would be the one from the Rocky movies.
The pioneer first used editing to allow the audience to follow the action was Edwin S Porter in 1903 with his film, 'The Great Train Robbery'. An example of this would be in the first 'Kingsman' movie, specifically the church scene. It was edited to look like a continuous shot which made it easier for people to understand what the character Galahad was doing.
Shot variation is when they use filming to create a sequence of different shots to make the audience relate to the characters. An example of this would be in the film, 'The Sick Kitten' which made the viewer feel the emotions that the director wanted them to feel.
Analogue is when you use photography to record films by using a long film and flashing a light through it which caught the image of the action frame by frame. This is difficult to edit because instead of using technology you have to actively edit it by literally cutting scenes off of the film. To do this you need to use Splicer to cut the film and then the editor has to physically paste it back together so that it can be viewed.
Digital editing is when you film something with a digital camera that records footage on to a hard drive and then it is given to the editor to cut unnecessary parts out. This is much easier to do because instead of actually having to do it by hand people can just cut out the specific part that needs to be cut out and then all they have to do is move the rest of the recorded footage so that it connects again. There are multiple forms of software that can do editing such as, Sony Vegas Pro, iMovie, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Windows Movie Maker, Avid Media Composer and many more.

Seamless or invisible editing is when you make it seem like there was no gap between one scene and another. There are multiple ways of doing this, the most common of which is to block the camera when you make a cut, an example of this would be the church scene form 'Kingsman' which has multiple cuts but no one notices them.
The 180 degree rule is when filming, there's an invisible line that cameras can't film past because if they do then one of the cameras will be caught in the shot of one of the other cameras.
There are multiple kinds of transitions that are used in filming, the most common of which is a cut that's just a simple jump from one scene to another. This can be used in a multitude of ways such as having a lot of quick cuts to depict the action that's shown on screen. An example of this would be the church scene from 'Kingsman'.
There's also dissolving which is when one scene dissolves into another scene. They can be used to set the tone for the movie, an example of which would be the beginning of 'Citizen Kane' which sets a dark tone.
There's also a fading which is similar to dissolving. This is used to create natural beginnings and ending to scenes, an example of this would be six feet under where it fades from black to the first scene of the movie.
Another transition would be the wipe which is when one scene comes in from the side of another scene. This can be used after a physical action or cutting between to scenes of parallel action, an example of this would be the movie the Star Wars franchise.
There's also the POV shot which is when you see exactly what the character sees. This is done so that it's easier to allow the audience to feel the atmosphere that the director is attempting to make, an example of this would be the film 'Gravity'.
There's the shot reverse shot shows the action from the opposite side, usually for conversations. This can be used to emphasise the themes of duality such as in The 'Dark Knight'.
The last transition that I will be talking about will be cutaways. This is used to make the story more interesting by interrupting continuously filmed action. An example of this would be in 'The Godfather' when one character tells another character a story.
Editing can provide the audience with information by cutting to something that is related to what one of the characters are talking about.
Editing can also withhold information by editing two scenes that are similar to each other but then shows that it isn't what the audience first assumed. An example of this would be in The 'Silence Of The Lambs' where the audience think that the police are going to the kidnappers house but instead they go to the wrong house.
You can also edit to the rhythm of song by cutting when there's a beat in the song, an example of this would be most musicals.
Cutting to the beat is when you cut to different scenes when the beat drops, an example of this would be the film 'Baby Driver's' first scene because when the beat drops we are introduced to the characters that are in the film as well as some insight into the main character.
