Evaluation for in camera editing

The advantages of in camera editing is that all of the shots are always in order so when you play them back together no editing is required. Once you get used to in camera editing it will help you out in the future when you start filming properly because your shots will be short and in order and minimum amount of editing will be done.

The disadvantages of in camera editing is that if you make any mistakes for example an actor messed up in a scene or someone walked in to the shot etc.. it can't be removed!
Also your shots always have to be in the right order or else the story just wont make any sense and your final video would be a complete mess.

Overall I think in camera editing is a good thing because it teaches you to waste minimum amount of space on your SD card, your shots are always in order and when your all done you will do very little editing.

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.
