Researching into forms of Editing

Straight cuts: instantly switches between different shots.

Continuity editing: stopping and starting filming at different scenes or sets.

Fade up/down: this is usually used to indicate an end of an episode of some action.

Dissolve: this is used to show that time has passed.

Cross-cut: cuts between action/ shows another scene during the action.

Cut away: cut away's highlights something important during an event. For example, cuts away to someone's reaction.

Pacing (slow/fast): The speed of which cuts are made. For example, during a dance scene the pace of the shots will be fast to give an lively, energetic feel.

Slow motion: used to slow down the speed of a clip. This might be used to show a characters mental state or used to highlight some action.
