Editing Styles Traditional Editing Styles

Traditional editing can also be called the basic skills of editing. Its main role has two, one is to ensure that the smooth transition of the camera, so that the audience feel that the whole film is a breath of fresh air; the second is to make the film paragraphs, clear veins, so that the audience will not be different time and place of the contents of the same scene is mistaken. Therefore, this kind of editing must do: ① to prevent confusion. Lens articulation must be accurate, not disjointed and not overlap, the direction of character movement, spatial relations must be consistent. ② lens transition coordination. Editing is often in the form of action, rhythm for editing points, that is, "moving to move", "static to static". "Dynamic to dynamic" refers to the camera or the movement of the character to switch the lens, such as a panning lens to another panning lens or a person running away from the lens to a person chasing the lens and so on. "Static to static" means from the end of an action (or a static scene) to the beginning of an action (or a static scene). (iii) Omit the actual process. That is, the omission of unnecessary, the audience does not see the process of self-explanatory, but still maintain the coherence of the action or plot. Such as an airplane takeoff lens to an airplane landing lens can be omitted travel process, a peach blossom lens to a full of fallen leaves can be omitted from the process of time change and so on. Traditional editing, basically according to the normal logic of life, but is not naturalistic to record the whole process of life.
