Editing Techniques

Here is an example of a very effect editing technique. This clip is from the film "Commando" and is the famous "Gear up" scene. It is a perfectly editing montage of exaggerated weaponry and sound effects to match.



I have used this editing technique as inspiration to create the kettle scene in my short film. The kettle scene used quick editing to show Alice's Mother boiling the kettle and making a cup of tea.

The following images demonstrate the order of shots in sequence.

The sequence doesn't particularly feature match on action because the quick cut editing is supposed to give the effect of breaking a lengthy task down to last a few seconds and only include the most important features.
