Motivated edit K.H

Development of Drama SM

Editing is used to develop drama, the way footage is editied can determine the intensity of the clip. Putting certain clips togther and using different camera shots at certain points can benefit a video and develop drama.

Continuity K.H

Continuity editing is the style of film or TV editing. It is the smoothness of the shots moving from one to another. For example: If in a medium shot someone has just opened a door with their right hand and then in the next shot the same person was opening the door again then this would be an example of bad continuity. Continuity can also be effected by things such as props, for example, if in one shot a character was smoking and in the next shot they are doing something different then this an example of bad continuity. The purpose of continuity is to smooth over the inherent discontinuity of the editing process and to establish a logical coherence between shots
