The job of an editor is not simply to mechanically put pieces of a film together, cut off film slates, or edit dialogue scenes.  ]]> 2016-10-30 23:34:24 UTC https://padlet.com/manningc013031/b99v0hrs6vvu/wish/134117298 How does it work? manningc013031 https://padlet.com/manningc013031/b99v0hrs6vvu/wish/134117352 It works by layering images, changing transitions to other clips to increase/decrease the tension and changing the pace of the film]]> 2016-10-30 23:35:05 UTC https://padlet.com/manningc013031/b99v0hrs6vvu/wish/134117352 Describe the following terms manningc013031 https://padlet.com/manningc013031/b99v0hrs6vvu/wish/134117392 Cut is when there is an abrupt change from one scene or shot to another. This can increase tension and create an intense atmosphere for the audience.
A dissolve transition is a gradual transition between shots. This is more peaceful and usually suggests a change in location as it is slower.
A fade transition is when the picture gradually turns to a single color, usually black, or when a picture gradually appears on screen. Fade ins generally occur at the beginning of a film or act, while fade outs are typically found at the end of a film or act.
A jump cut is a cut in film editing in which two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly if at all. This type of edit gives the effect of jumping forwards in time.

They watch it and think about the plot and the characters. Editing is only a small aspect of a film albeit an important one. It can change a movie and an audiences perspective on a movie but it is a small thing that merely pieces the final product together.]]> 2016-10-31 00:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/manningc013031/b99v0hrs6vvu/wish/134121848
