What are the ways to edit movie clips? Understand three editing methods.

(1) can also be called basic editing skills. It has two main functions: first, it ensures the smooth transition of the lens and makes the audience feel that the whole movie is done in one go; The second is to make the paragraphs and context of the film clear, so that the audience will not mistake the contents of different times and places for the same scene. Therefore, this kind of editing must do:

Prevent chaos. The lens connection must be accurate, not disjointed or overlapped, and the direction and spatial relationship of the characters' actions must be consistent.

(2) Coordination of lens conversion. Editing often takes action form and rhythm as editing points, that is, "driven by action" and "static with static". "Moving and moving" refers to switching shots in the movement of shots or characters, such as panning shots one after another or escaping shots one after another. "Being still" means after an action (or still scene) and immediately before an action (or still scene).

(3) omit the actual process. That is, it omits the unnecessary process that is self-evident to the audience, while still maintaining the coherence of the action or plot. For example, the plane take-off lens followed by the plane landing lens can omit the traveling process, and the peach blossom lens followed by the defoliation lens can omit the time change process. Traditional editing is basically carried out according to normal life logic, but it is not a naturalistic record of the whole process of life.

2. Creative editing

(1) It is customary to say that editing methods can improve the artistic effect of film creative editing, mainly including the following:

Dramatic effect editing. Use to adjust the time and order of key shots; Choose the best editing point so that every shot appears at the most suitable time for the story to unfold.

Performance effect editing. It is to simplify or boldly jump, selectively condense the analogy lens and highlight some emotions or ideas while ensuring the coherence and fluency of the narrative. Juxtapose some contrasting and similar shots to reveal the inner meaning and render the atmosphere.

(2) Rhythm effect editing. Generally speaking, a short shot and a quick transition of the picture will cause a sense of urgency and tension; Long shots and slow picture transitions can lead to unresponsiveness or depression. Therefore, the alternation of long and short shots and the combination of fast and slow picture conversion can cause the psychological and emotional ups and downs of the audience. Taking advantage of this, we can control the mood of the audience and achieve the expected artistic effect by controlling the time of the picture and mastering the rhythm of change in editing. This editing rhythm is also called editing sound.

(3) However, the length of the lens and the speed of conversion cannot exceed the limit of the audience's understanding of the meaning of the content, otherwise it will cause confusion. Clip tones often express the plot or emotional paragraphs of the film, making the ups and downs of the film easy. The editing tone of a paragraph in a film is calculated by the number of shots, which is called the editing rate. A large number of shots is called high splicing rate or fast-paced editing; A few shots are called low splicing rate or slow-motion editing.

3. Film editing technology

(1) No matter how good a film is, the editing part of the film is indispensable. When editing in the later stage of general film production, we should pay attention to editing film fragments. Generally, the original film obtained by film shooting is washed, and a set of working samples should be made for editing. The editor selects the required lens and film from a large number of samples, cuts the film with scissors, sticks it together with tape or glue, and then watches the editing effect on the editing table (this process should be repeated repeatedly).

⑵ When you enter the film editing part, you really enter the nonlinear part of the film. Sometimes a highly skilled editor won't cut films step by step, that is, he won't cut them one by one in sequence. Many editors cut from the middle, insert a shot, or cut some pictures, which will not affect the whole film.

(3) However, this method is powerless to make many skills. Editors cannot make overlapping pictures between two shots, nor can they adjust the colors of the pictures. All these techniques can only be done in the process of development and printing. At the same time, the manual operation efficiency of clipping is also very low.
