Editing

An important part of film is the technical aspect. This comperes the costume, the set and the props, the sound and the editing.
Editing is one of the important parts of this, editing is how the shots are put together. Simple editing is just different shots being put together in a simple line, this is called continuity editing.
Editing can be used artistically used in lots of interesting ways, such as dissolving parts of scenes as a transition and scenes falling in to each other such as a characters eyes being zoomed in, and the next scene appears.

Or a character falling in to the next scene.
Editing can also be fast to bring up the action and tenseness in action movies. Slow and diversities to create dark films or slow romances.
Bad editing can ruin a film. If the editing is too slow then it gets very boring for the person watching, if the editing to fast then it's hard to understand what the film markers trying to show or say.
The more editing practice someone has usually the better they get at it, as they are trying different and new techniques can really help a movie be different and more experimental.
An part of editing I enjoy is the editing style is Sherlock, the editing used here is stylized and creative ideas, also connecting it with the lighting, which is dimmed and colours which have a rich quality to them.


Another film which uses editing well in my opinion is Zak Snyder's Sucker Punch. This style of dark and edgy imagery combined with use of shadow techniques, editing helps Synder style stand out and be recognizable with audiences. Editing for this helps the film to create the three worlds. The editing is speed up for the fantasy scenes, for example these parts of the film have more disconnected quick shots all together. These are smaller for the action to take place in. There is also more risk taken as they is some more experimental techniques used, such as more pan shots and ECU's. While the Asylum use more still shots and long takes which show the boredom and miserable of the main characters life.  


An example of Sucker Punch's fight fantasy scenes, which shows off the different ways Snyder uses the speed of different scenes to give an effect and uses the context, such this scene being violent, so the editing uses shorter shots.
