Edit individual initial

let's talk about editing editing is taking all that you went through in production from the perfectly lit shots to the awful takes you never want to look at and turns it into a story worth watching which program you decide to edit on doesn't matter it's about finding your voice and that's what i want to talk about today you see there are a few cuts that you can try out that add a whole lot more weight and meaning to your video let's call it eight it's nine essential cuts every editor should know first things first let's kick it off with the basics it's going to be your standard shot now this is exactly what it sounds like it's going to be the end of one scene and the start of another it's just putting two clips together no flare no fuss no added meaning number two my personal favorite the jump cut it's going to be just that to jump around a scene with the intent of speeding up time now this can be done for comedic effect but also as a way to simply demonstrate the passing of time usually it's going to be taking one long take cutting it up throughout the middle and then putting it all together into one piece cut number three the j cut so you've actually seen the j cup way more than you realize it's just simply leading into the next scene with the audio like this see what i mean so this cut is as simple as it sounds you just drag the audio clip from the next clip over on top of your current clip it's a good way to kind of segue into the next scene change locations and let the audience know what's about to happen so this brings us to the l-cut the l-cut is exactly what the j-cut is but flipped so my audio right now will take us into the next shot so the l-cut is actually absolutely essential for conversational scenes because you're going to have two characters one of them is going to be saying something and then you're going to cut to the other character as that first character is still talking that's an l cut perhaps the most common cut that you're going to be taught in film school and then now that you know you'll see it everywhere is cutting on action so it's basically exactly as it sounds you're gonna cut when one character moves a certain way it doesn't have to be a punch or a kick but it can even just be a head turning someone moving looking a certain way getting up or walking so this just allows the audience's eyes to stay on the action as it plays out throughout the scene cross cutting also known as parallel editing this is just a way to build suspense having two narratives play out at the same time uh you'll see this a...
