Learning Outcomes:

• MUST be able to analyse transitions and sound editing in video examples.

• SHOULD be able to question why transitions and sound editing has been used in examples.

• COULD compare transitions and sound editing techniques using examples.

Providing and withholding information

• Editors can choose whether to include or leave out information for the audience.

• They do this by putting in shots to show some of the story content or purposefully leaving them out.

• Why would you choose to provide the audience with information as an editor?

• When might you withhold information in the storyline and why?

Motivated Editing

Motivated editing is when a cut pushes the action forwards.

It is used when something off screen alludes that something is happening and then the cuts reveal what that is.

Shot reverse shot is a technique used in conversation that pushes the action forwards.

What would happen if we didn’t use motivated editing?

Manipulation of time

• In film there are lots of ways that time can be altered or played with.

• For instance using a montage, flashbacks/ flash forwards, slowing down/ speeding up, time lapse, jump cuts and in some cases special effects can all show a difference in time.

Editing with Sound

• In what ways can sound be used in a film?

Discuss in pairs and Share

Using sound layers

• Films are edited using sound layers, these layers consist of sound effects, sound tracks and dialogue.

• All of these sounds build up an picture of the film in audio.

• What is the effect of using sound layers?

Soundtracks

• Editing can often be influenced by the soundtrack, editors often listen to the mood of the audio and choose their shots carefully to coincide with the peaks of the music.

• Soundtracks are also useful for providing rhythm to cut to often on the beat.
