Editing in Narrative

Editing plays a large roll when it comes to the production of any type of video. editing consists of: transitions, cutting shots and changing positions of different shots. the use of editing can change the meaning of a film completely. for example different types of transitions can either make the scene more exaggerated or more natural. 

the main types of transitions used in television are: 

• fade to white 
• straight cut
• crossfade
• wipe

The use of editing changes the story completely. For example we created a short story board of events. If we were to start the story board with the the 4th shot, how would that affect the rest of our scene?
We tried this, and as a result we had to move many of the other shots, in oder for the scene to make sense.

Editing is used to manipulate the audience into thinking in a certain way. For instance in a scene you see something is about to happen, then you see the result of what 'supposedly happened' therefore as an audience we think something happened, though we didn't actually see it.
