Editing: The Invisible Art

Editing can build tension and pace by making creating a lot of shots in to a small space of time Cross-cutting is and editing technique most often used in films to establish action occurring at the same time in two different locations. Reaction shots are when you see the the people in the film react to what is going on.
Seamless editing is editing made so simple by just put the scenes one after the other, the viewer without being told will already be able to tell whats going on the viewer will  is not aware editing has taken place. A jump cut is an abrupt transition from one scene to another. A flashback is when the director takes the audience from one time to another, usually it takes you back in time to the characters past. Poetic editing is when the story is not as clear is it appears  and the viewer has to do more thinking than usually to understand what exactly is going on.
