What I learned Today About Editing.....

Editing is films are something that you would not really notice when you are watching a film, that's why we called it the 'invisible art'. When it is well-practiced, the viewer can become so engaged that he or she is not even aware of the editor's work. 

Features of editings includes: 

• Establishing shot: usually used in the beginning of a film to give information to the audiences about where and when the action takes place. 
• Shot reverse shot: usually used during conversations. 
• 180 degree rule: usually used to show the audience where things are within the flimic space. 

I think I would use establishing shot in my film opening to inform the audience where and when the action takes place. Establishing shot is really usful because you are give out a lot of information within a 10 second shot. Shot reverse shot is also really crucial because it shows the actors facial expression during a conversation.
