Post-Production
Essentiality editing is selecting and coordinating one shot with the next to construct a sequence of shots which form a logical and impressive narrative. Through editing, the material you have shot will be blended together to form a convincing and good presentation
Editing begins with sorting through the available material

Cutting from one shot to another or from one point in time to another is a perfectly acceptable transition. There are some important transition effects which are useful in joining of different shots resulting in to a good and effective out put. 90% shots combination, will be with “cut”
Cut to: Cut is the most direct and frequently used method of getting from one shot to another. A cut happens instantaneously. It simply means one picture ends and another begins.
Match cut will be used if there is relation between two shots. In the case of subject match cut, subject will be same in two shots. In the case of Object match cut, subject changes and object will be the same in two shots.
Match cut will be useful in the following situations.
- Mismatched camera height
- Changes in head room
- Action continuity
Cut away: one of the easiest ways around mismatched action or dialogues mistakes. There will be no relation between two shots.
Fade :
Fade in is simply cutting from a dark screen to a full bright picture. It will be used at starting of the scene.
Fade out is a gradual reduction in the strength of the picture(Bright) to dark screen. It will be used at the ending of the sequence or scene
Wipe is a transition from one picture to another using a pattern, such as a vertical bar that moves across the screen. The pattern reveals the new picture as the old one is wiped away. Wipe comes in different shapes and sizes. for showing lapse of time, other screen will come on to the present screen by cleaning
Dissolve to & Dissolve from: A dissolve is two fades; one picture is fading in while the other picture is fading out. When this happens on screen, it causes an overlapping visual effect. It is meant to suggest a passage of time or a major change of location.
Super imposition is an effect produced by fading out one picture while fading in another. If the mixing of those pictures is stopped half way, the result is a super imposition. matching of two different shots ex : Horse movement in air
Adding & deleting the frames in between the shot: It is the process of eliminating of some of the frames in the shot to increase the time duration there by giving the effective output. For fast motion or slow motion.
Blend: It is the process of conversion of one picture to another in the same frame. changing from one object to anther object ex: man changes to animal
