Week 36: Film and Video Editing Techniques Worksheet Started

I have started to complete the Film & Video Editing Techniques worksheet, this will allow me to gain more knowledge into the history and techniques used within film editing. Yesterday we watched a documentary Called 'The Cutting Edge', this showed the history of editing and included the key moments within editing. I took notes from this documentary, including iconic films and key dates in editing history. These notes will help me in completing the worksheet, as I have started my research into the history of editing, as I have been asked to create a timeline showing the key developments within moving image editing. From this worksheet I also need to complete a report showing my understanding of Conventions and Techniques of film and video editing. This includes conventions such as: Continuity, Montage, Jump-Cutting and Crosscutting. These are some of the conventions which I will research into and explain the conventions with an example and how I would use it in future production work. I have started research for Task 1, the timeline and I will start to create my own timeline and research into the conventions within editing. A website which I have found which includes the editing key dates within the film industry is filmsite.org, which will help me within task 1 & 2.
