Speed/Style of Editing

Editing is when you gather all of your shots together and put them together to make one clip. Editing is done in almost everything, TV adverts, music videos, films, TV shows etc. There are two different types of editing, these are speed editing and style editing. speed editing is when you get to decide how long a clip lasts for in hat scene. Style editing is when you decide how your shots are going to be placed in that scene and you can decide what way they are going to be placed. 

Speed of Editing
Speed editing is used in videos to help the viewers know where they are and what is happening. For example in a film the beginning is always quite long so that the audience has an idea of what is happening. It is important that the viewers know what is happening at the beginning of the film otherwise they will be confused throughout the rest of it. Speed editing is also used to create emotion. depending on the time of the clip, it gives the audience an idea of how much time has passed. The main reason of speed editing is to keep the flow of the scene smooth and understandable.

Style of Editing
This is the movement between scenes. For example the fades, straight cuts and the jump cuts. This is very important when filming as it is this that strings the film together and emphasises the key elements which the film is trying to portray. Straight cuts are used to make two clips into one. By using this they make the two clips looks like one whole clip without there being any unnatural movement between the two different clips. 

Each of these styles of editing are used in many different videos you may see. Whether it is a film, a music video or even a YouTube video.
