Editing is the process of selecting and joining up different shots that will convey a meaning and creates a story. Elliptical editing is a sequence of shots that have continuity, that allows the audience to fill in the gaps. Eliptical editing also saves time. Long shots are used to remind us of the location and the people in the scene. Non-diagetic sound is when music is added at top of the natural sound, the character can't hear it but the viewer can.
The film that we have watched starts with reverse shot of a girl looking for a ring. We know this because the eye line of the character is looking down which means she looking for something. At the end of the sequence she slightly starts to bend down and we cut to the ring on the floor with her hand picking it up.
Overhead establishibg shot shows the space that the action is going to take place and also shows the characters in that particular scene and who is talking to each other.
Shot reverse shot is when we cut between two close ups or medium shot of two people as they are talking to each other to show their communication.
Eye line matching is when the angle of the eye of two characters links together in two different shots.
By watching that particular scene of the hustle we can see cut to the other members of the group to show their reaction towards the decision.
Wipe is a transition that we used in editing to tell our audience that we are in a different time and place.
The idea of using quick cuts is to create pace and keeps the audience's attention and it's also energetic.
