introduction to editing

The Gloaming

Editing is reviewing and changing a document by making additions, deletions, or other changes to conform to some agreed upon standard. Is the process of selection from different shots to create a narrative.
Elliptical editing is a nice way of skipping long unnecessary scenes using only two shots, for example the first shot could be shot of the character about to go to sleep and the second shot would be when the character wakes up. Long shots are used to get an idea of where the character is at and its surroundings.
Non-diagetic sounds are sounds such as music or a narrator's voice that comes from outside the space of the narrative. We know she is bending down to pick up the ring because in the first shot she moves to the bottom right hand side of the screen in the first shot and then in the second shot her hand is taking the ring on the floor.
