The style of editing means how scenes are attached together.
This is done through transitions. Transition means the moving from one shot to
another. There are copious types of transitions, which are used to carry different
meanings. Below are some editing transitions. Editors mostly use.
Straight cut:
A basic cut; Shot A abruptly ends and Shot B abruptly begins
Jump cut:
A jump cut occurs
when a cut, designed to act merely as a camera angle reveals a continuity error
between the two shots. For instance, if a character has their hand over their
mouth in a medium shot, and not in their close-up, this little detail, which
probably was not noticed on set, is now painfully obvious to the viewers.
Fade in/out
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.
Cut
The most basic type of shot transition, the cut is the most
common way to join two shots.
Wipe
A wipe is when the scene is shoved off the screen by another
shot. For example in star wars episode 4 the wipes are used exquisitely.
In my thriller openings I’ll most likely be using these
editing transitions, mostly the basic cuts.
