Editing: assembling various shots in your preferred order and trimming them until they seem (to be) the right length; the end of one to beginning of another. Function- allows director to insolate and magnify each bit of action and to control the pace of (the audience"s) uptake. Most films have 1,000-2,000 shots (higher for action films) Instantaneous change from one shot to another. Originally made be splicing two shots together using film cement or tape: fade-out. A gradual darkening of the end of a shot to black: fade-in. The gradual lightening of an image from black: dissolve. Superimposition of the end of one shot with the beginning of another. A line crosses the screen, brining a new shot with it. Relations among the graphic elements: mise-en-scene and cinematography qualities. Joining shots a and b together creates a purely pictorial relationship between a and b.
