Chaper 2: Editing Styles and conventions

Parallel editing (cross cutting) is the technique of alternating two or more scenes that often happen simultaneously but in different locations.


Point of view shot- Is a short film scene that showsthe characterbeing represented through thecamera.Itshowsthe reaction of thecharacterand there reaction.(There point of view)


Reverseshot- where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.

cutaways-It usually cutsbackto the first shot,but avoids a jump cuy.
