Editing Techniques.

When editing our film  we had to use certain techniques in order  to symbolise or suggest certain things. For example, a change in time or scene.
A technique that we used quite often throughout was a fade to black, this was used in many instances when we had no footage that would correctly follow on to give the same effect or when this sort of footage is not needed in that certain space of time. This is a technique which has worked really well within aspects of the film to build up a sense of tension and suspense.  Here i found a very basic example of a fade through black transition clip to illustrate the effect that we have used. 

The other main type of editing we did was jump cut. We used this mainly for the speed, as theres is a lot of tension/ scary moments in our film that needed to be further exaggerated. Jump cuts allowed us to do this. It is also a really simple, effective technique to be carried out. Here is a simple and effective  example of a jump cut.
