Preliminary Exercise: Editing (Part 1)

 Six visual editing techniques are spatial editing, temporal editing, rhythmic editing, graphic editing, eyeline match edit, and match on action edit. The link between shots serves to create the illusion of space in a film through spatial editing. The link between shots serves to create the illusion of space in a film through spatial editing. The link between a shot's ability to control time and temporal editing. The link between the shots serves to control the speed of the movie through rhythmic editing. Graphic editing connects two seemingly unrelated scenes or aids in establishing a connection between two scenes utilizing graphics, movement, and music. The idea behind the eyeline match edit is that viewers want to see what the character on screen is seeing. A cut known as a "match on action edit" joins two distinct perspectives of the same action at the same point in the movement. Two sound editing techniques are L Cut and J Cut. In a L Cut, which is a type of split edit, the audio from the scene before is overlaid with the image from the scene after. An J Cut occurs when the audio from a subsequent scene is overlaid on top of the picture from the previous scene, causing the later scene's audio to begin playing before its picture as a lead-in to the visual cut. I would use these techniques in my movie when editing different scenes that would require us to use these techniques.
