Today in class we continued with editing techniques. Editing is a form of assembly, and it shapes narratives through assembly. By cutting different camera shots together, which is the basic unit of film editing, a writer/director can take any two shots and seamlessly transition them together. In class today we had an assignment (due Friday 1/13), that explained that in a group we have to show 10/13 cuts/transitions and embed a video into each slide to show as an example of each cut. To see examples of cuts and transitions such as, cutting on action, cut away, jump cut, dissolve, wipe, l-cut, etc., use this link to access the video for it to explain more. http://nofilmschool.com/2016/03/rocket-jump-film-cuts-and-types-transitions-editing

These techniques will allow us to further understand why directors do what they do to get their story across in short scenes and in specific cuts and transitions.
