Editing is one of the most used things for producing films, it cuts out the boring bits such as, walking to a place, or delivering an item. Editing helps construct the narrative, we're so used to seeing editing in films we barely recognise it. Editing is often 'invisible'. In the assassination scene in north by north west between roger getting out the taxi to looking down on the united nations building there are 26 cuts most frequently during the conversation so we can see the characters facial reactions. The pace of the editing can be used to create excitement and tension for example, in the shower scene of psycho the pace speeds up but when Marion dies the pace slows down, as if her life is slowly leaving her.
dissolve- one scene dissolves into another, overlapping for a moment
fade out fade in- one scene fades out to black completely, then another fades in.
wipes- one scene wipes across the screen, revealing or replacing the next one. This can happen in any direction.
Iris- The next scene replaces the last by appearing from the centre like an iris of an eye.
Jump cuts- Two scenes that feature a common element right after one another, so something stays the same but the rest changes. This is used for disorients or comedy effect.
