DISSOLVE OF CROSS FADE

This type of shot merges into the following shot, resulting in the two shots being superimposed. The longer the shot takes to dissolve the more noticeable the superimposition becomes. Here is an example:

JUMP CUTThis is a cut which breaks the continuity of time by jumping forward from one part of an action to another. This type of edit gives the effect of jumping forwards in time. For this reason, jump cuts are considered a violation of classical continuity editing, which aims to give the appearance of continuous time and space in the story-world by de-emphasizing editing. Jump cuts, in contrast, draw attention to the constructed nature of the film

This is a jump cut scene from The Bourne Identity. It shows the jump cut from the fisherman’s face to Bourne’s body in the sea. This increases attention in the scene.

FADE

This type of editing is a visual transition between shots or scenes that appears on screen as a brief interval with no picture. The editor fades one shot to black and then fades in the next. Often used to indicate a change in time and place. Here is

an example of a fade editing in a film.

CROSS CUTTING

Cross Cutting is an editing technique most often used in films to establish action occurring at the same time in two different locations. In a cross cut, the camera will cut away from one action to another action, which can suggest the simultaneity of these two actions but this is not always the case.

This is an example of a cross cutting editing technique. This is the final scene from the final act of Christopher Nolan's 'Inception'

PARALLEL EDITINGParallel editing is a technique whereby cutting occurs between two or more related actions occurring at the same time in two separate locations or even different points in time. Here is an example of

pace editing in the movie ‘The Silence of the Lambs’. The first shot shows the man ringing the door bell and the second shot shows another man who is scared to open the door, which builds tension towards the viewers.

PACE EDITINGPace editing in film is when how fast the scenes are going. For example if one scene was action thus the action was going fast then the pace of the action and the scene will be fast. Whereas if a scene was slow for example in a funeral then the pace will therefore be slow.

This is an example of fast paced editing in the film ‘Fast and Furious’. Here we see an action of cars breaking down, getting burned and also flipping over.
