Editing Conventions

Continuity editing – events unfold in chronological order (e.g. V for Vendetta)
Cross cutting – where two different scenes are shown one after the other so the audience believe that the scenes are occurring at the same time (e.g. V for Vendetta)
Eye line match – when a frame shows what the subject is looking at (e.g. V for Vendetta)
CONTINUITY EDITING IN 'V FOR VENDETTA'
Flashback – an event that has already occurred in relation to the film (e.g. The Hangover)

Flash-forward – an event that will happen in the future in relation to the film (e.g. Amores Perros)
'AMORES PERROS' OPENING SCENE - FLASHFORWARD
Montage – shots combined to show the passing of time (e.g. Rocky)

Fast paced – lots of small shots cut together to create action, suspense and tension (e.g. Die Hard)

Slow paced – long shots, usually used for dialogues (e.g. Snatch)
