Editing Techniques and Thoughts on them...
Editing techniques:
Cutaway:
I think the cutaway is a good editing technique, i like it as it makes tasks seem more intense or interesting. I think this would be useful in all genres as it is a very versatile technique that can be inserted in most scenes where a character is doing something. I could use this technique in some of my work as it is quite interesting and makes things look more professional.
Cross Cutting:
I like the cross cutting editing technique because you are able to see the expressions on peoples face during a conversation which is interesting as we get to see what all the characters are feeling which is more entertaining to watch. I think this is also a technique that could be implemented into most genres unless its one where cellular devices do not exist.
Jump Cuts:
I also like jump cutting too, it gives us a sense of how much time has passed if done correctly for example a change of cloches or a tied look without needing to watch everything happen. I think jump cuts could be used in all genres as well because all films and TV shows only show the interesting bits so jump cutting must be used or it would be boring. I think jump cutting would be useful in my work if i needed to make time "pass by"
Graphic Match:
Graphic matches are very interesting to me as they link different shots quite nicely and are quite rare but are effective at changing the atmosphere abruptly. I think graphic matches would be good in action movies or horrors to quickly transition from an intense scene to a calm one to add to the tension or relieve it.
Smash Cut:
I like smash cuts as well as they are quite scary sometimes which is likely what is intended and either lower tension or increase it drastically. I think they would be used in horrors as the abrupt change is good for changing the mood suddenly. I think it would not be very useful for any of my work because i dont enjoy making scary videos.
Parallel Editing:
I like parallel editing as it gives viewers a sense of what is happening to 2 characters at once and gives us a broader image of what is really happening which is good as we usually only get to focus on one scene, I also like this as it develops characters nicely if done correctly making us bond with characters.
Eye-line Match:
I like the eye-line match because it provides viewers with an obvious idea of what a character is looking at and in some horrors it provides us with the perspective of people who are witnessing people go mental at what seems to be nothing. This technique is probably useful in all genres because all shows have people looking at something.
Invisible cut:
I like the invisible cut too because it allows the viewers to feel the way certain characters do for example if a character passes out it makes the scene more immersive while also jump cutting in a way as time usually passes when some one passes out. I believe this technique would be used in action movies as it is common for people to pass out in this genre.
L-Cut:
I think the L-Cut is a very interesting technique as i haven't seen it much but it is very good for smooth transitions. I think this would be useful in psychological shows or films because usually these sort of genres mess with your mind and sounds are very easy to link things together with.
J-Cut:
This technique is another one a like because they are great for telling stories with and excellent for changing the atmosphere gradually. I think this technique would be useful in a variety of genres at least ones that incorporate storytelling as it allows the viewers to become more engaged when sounds from one scene follow through into the next especially if it is gun fire.
