Wipes and other elaborate transitions don’t usually contribute to storytelling. Fade out followed by a fade in means that a period of time has passed. You can use a fade out (usually to black) at the end of a scene. You can use these to show that you’ve left out a short space of time, or part of a journey. In a cross dissolve or cross fade, the shots dissolve into each other (one image gets weaker while the next shot gets stronger). If you use fades or dissolves, you’ll confuse people. Transitions are the ‘joins’ between shots.ĭoes your scene show continuous action, or one short space of time? You should use cuts, where the shot goes straight into the next one. Sudden changes of pace look really clunky, whether it’s a shot that outstays its welcome, or one that flashes by too fast to grasp. Long shots, extreme long shots, and any shots with detail will need to be on screen for longer.Ĭheck that the pace is consistent. Get the pace rightĪ shot should stay on screen long enough for people to understand it, but not so long that they get bored.Ĭloseups, simple shots, and shots without any action or movement, can be short. Long shots and extreme long shots remind viewers of where everything fits into the scene. Add it as a ‘cutaway’ above the main clips. If you have to cut similar shot sizes together, use another shot to hide the join. Use an in-between size like a mid shot to bring the viewer with you. If you cut straight from an extreme long shot to an extreme closeup, viewers won’t understand where the closeup fits into the bigger picture. Vary the shot size and angleĭon’t cut between two very similar shots of the same thing, unless you really want a ‘jump cut’ for effect. Show a different subject, or a different view of the same thing: a different shot size or camera position.
Use just the part of the clip that has the action you need. You can leave out anything that doesn’t help tell the story. (But don’t delete any clips unless you’re absolutely sure they’re unusable.) Select the important actionĬhoose the clips that show the essential action. You may need to leave out some really good stuff if it doesn’t fit. The finished film is the important thing. Select just what the story needsĭon’t be precious about your footage, however proud of it you are.
