Do you have any particular or favorite editing techniques and ideas?

During the time when I was learning PR by myself, my favorite editing technique was to connect two different shots together, and then make an opening transition very naturally, this editing technique has always been a traditional editing technique that I like, although he doesn't have too many bells and whistles, but it is very important to control that feeling, so I really like it.

I have a special favorite editing technique, that is, when a shot gradually moves forward, I can sketch an illusory beginning of the next shot, I feel that this editing technique and idea is really what I like very much, but my current ability is not able to make an editing technique, it is really a skill that I imagined myself, I don't know how feasible it is, but it is indeed what I want to achieve.

The quick cut in Pearl Harbor is simply wonderful, and the three-hour ** is not boring at all. There's also the jump cut in Vulgar**, and the parallel cut in Kill Bill. There are a lot of them, these are the editing that I feel is really powerful after watching it, whether it is the editing idea or the final result, now the technology has been improving, and even artificial intelligence can do editing and automatically classify the shots.

In fact, I think that compared to other people's economic performance, you might as well realize a skill of your own, so to a certain extent, you will find that in fact, you should first have a skill that only belongs to yourself, and then she learns the skills of others, and then forms a mainstream of her own, because most editing is actually a kind of stream of consciousness that is more clear.

In fact, you will find that in a large case, a simple knowledge of editing skills is realized through yourself, and to a certain extent, you will find that in fact, our communication is through brain waves. Therefore, it is still necessary to look at one of your own editing processes, parallel editing or something, and the editing idea is to come through your own editing method.

When I usually go to editing, then I especially like to add a special effect to one of my interesting expressions, because I will feel that such a magnification of my own characteristics, so that when others see it, it is easier to feel that there is a feeling and a distinctive, and you have a style of your own, so this is a small feature when I usually go to editing.

In fact, I think editing skills and ideas don't really have much effect at all, because I'm a science student, so I'm basically piecing together some ** or editing some**. I think this software is still very easy to use. It is a very good choice for science and engineering girls.

And the skills are actually there, I think it depends on yourself.

When I usually go to editing, I usually like to add some songs that are more like a certain rhythm, because I think that when different songs appear, they correspond to different **, which will create a different feeling, so I especially like to use different songs with different scenes.

Actually, I'm a science and engineering girl, so I'm often faced with cutting ** or making things. I especially like to use editing software, I don't like to use some skills, because I usually splice and edit, so I generally use this PR software, I think it's still very easy to use.

1.Clips should be compact

The best way to do this is to cut the tension but not overcut it. This meant cutting out unnecessary pauses in the actors' dialogues. Shorten the blank space in the middle of each sentence, and even subtract long, unimportant dialogue. However, before cutting out the dialogue, please ask the director for his opinion.

2.Discard temporary**

Many editors like to edit movies with temporary backgrounds, using temporary as placeholders. Here I would like to present two reasons why this practice is not being promoted. First, once people like Tempor, it's hard to find the right soundtrack that feels good.

Second, temporary ** will become your "spiritual pillar". When boring scenes are paired with funny**, you will be more forgiving.

3.Avoid using the French net clipping method

The original French Open television series used a specific dialogue editing method: the sound was completely synchronized with the picture, and there was no overlap. The commonly used methods are:

Cut picture A - A finishes the dialogue - cut picture B - B finishes talking - cut back to screen A, and just take turns editing it all the time. But in fact, the audience responds better to those that don't coincide with the sound and picture editing. This method of separating audio and image editing is called split edits, l-cuts or j-cuts.

4.Movement coordination

The use of actors' gestures, props, gaze or movement is one of the methods of editing. But Walter Murch says that the best way is to let the emotions flow naturally, or cut out a smooth narrative rhythm, and the technical editing is the least to consider. But it must not be ignored, because the mismatch of the movements will make it difficult for the audience to enter the play.

However, a friend often told me that "too much focus on matching will tie down the editing".

5.Move the shot shot

Moving the camera is the main way to shoot action movies, which can be an orbital camera, a swingarm camera, a camera stabilizer, or a handheld camera. Action movies usually have a tense atmosphere.

A technique of photography and editing that creates the illusion of continuity in time and space, making a series of shots appear as if they were the original occurrence of events. Smooth editing is often used in feature films, and it is also known as a Hollywood classic and in France it is a classic storyboard.

In the past, the traditional technique was to stop the sound abruptly at the same time as the camera switch, and the misalignment editing technique continued the sound to the second shot, which not only cleverly combined the sense of fracture caused by the camera switch, but also coherent the rhythm of the film in a more orderly manner! (Inventor Dee Di Allen).

The editing of the movie will create this psychological effect of "rainstorm like a pillar" to the audience. Especially in Chinese action movies, the brave and fierce combat action and the fast, dense editing will form a continuous torrent of visual images, causing a strong impact on the audience's psychology. We call this editing method "rainstorm editing" here.

By minimizing the temporal and spatial distance between shots, the film makes the originally single and intermittent film shots form a fast, complete and continuous video narrative chain.

In the history of world cinema, classic Hollywood films have formed a generally accepted method of "no-trick editing" in terms of film editing. This method uses a continuous tangent assembly method between shots, and the film has no stunts, no changes, and no personality or style from beginning to end. For this reason, this kind of editing is called "zero-degree editing" in the history of cinema.

Its main intention is to eliminate the audience's intentional attention to the image representation in the process of watching the film - in psychology, human attention is divided into two forms: intentional attention and unintentional attention.

The 13 editing techniques and techniques are as follows:

1. Smooth action: The technique is to edit the character or characters while they are still moving.

2. Cut-off: The technique is to cut the picture to the inserted lens first, and then switch back to the main lens.

3. Cross-editing: The technique is to switch back and forth between two scenes, which is commonly used when editing call scenes.

4. Jump cut: The technique is to edit the same shot, which is usually used to show the passage of time.

5. Matching cut: The technique is different from the jump cut, and the two actions of matching the cut connection are usually the same action, or the composition is the same.

6. Fade in and fade out transition: The trick is that the camera blurs into or out of the full black picture.

7. Dissolve transitions: The technique is to superimpose one shot on top of another, which is commonly used in montage, which can also represent the passage of time, and can also dissolve the same set of shots.

8. Jump editing: The technique is that the picture changes from big action to relaxation, and the effect is sudden, which is generally used to wake up the character from a dream.

9. Circular sliding: The technique is a stylized technique to make the aperture focus on something.

10. Wiping: The technique is that the picture is drawn in and out, and there can be a variety of trajectory methods.

11. Hide transitions: The trick is to use shadows to hide clips and create the illusion of the same shot.

1. Actions are connected 7:3.

First, let's take a look at the basic basics of action editing, "action connection".

"Action connection" refers to the editing method of connecting two images with one action.

Theoretically, the two sets of images are only different in size, depicting the same action at the same moment, so it is okay to start editing from any point.

However, there may be incoherent or repetitive movements. The final cut lacks a sense of rhythm.

The general method of video editing is to connect the movements according to the ratio of 7:3 or 3:7 to achieve the effect of smooth movements. In this way, not only do the front and back movements look coherent, but also a sense of rhythm and vividness.

Of course, connecting in a 7:3 ratio is not an absolute truth. Depending on the material and the cutting point, the human eye sometimes has the illusion of repetition and jumping.

Therefore, deliberately cutting out or overlapping certain shots will make the action look more natural and smooth. Try changing the clipping point in different images to see the effect.

2. Connect two actions into one.

Connecting multiple actions of different subjects into one is commonly referred to as a "single action clip".

Here's an example of how a pitcher and first baseman who hit a home run looks back at the ball that flew out. Both players complete the action of "looking back" at the same moment.

If you want to get the most out of the material, you have to use this connection: hit a home run - the pitcher turns back - the baseman turns back - the ball flies far away.

However, with this method of connection, the action of the two contestants turning back is repeated, which will give the audience a dull impression in favor.

A single action clip combines these two back-turns into one, and the timing difference is eliminated by editing.

Specifically, the first half of the pitcher's turning back is cut and the second half of the first baseman's turning back is connected to enhance the sense of speed and make the picture coherent.

The main points of the action connection.

The two cameras captured two different sizes of images at the same position and angle. If it is a different position and angle, this rule can also be used.

When we are editing, sometimes we want to move the timeline to the contact between specific two materials, but it is difficult for us to move to the position of the contact at one time, and we need to operate it several times, so we only need to hold down shift to move the timeline, and it will be automatically snapped to the contact, which is more convenient.

Quickly browse the material] Sometimes when we organize the material, we need to browse the material, but a large number of materials we can't read one by one, you can press and hold L to accelerate the preview, press L again to double the acceleration preview, press and hold J to accelerate the preview, if you want to stop, press K on it.

Ripple deletion tips] When we edit, if we want to delete the front or back of a certain piece of material in the middle, we need to constantly pour the position of several materials, so it is very troublesome, we can use ripple to delete, you can do it simply, if you don't want the previous paragraph, we can move the timeline to the position you want to intercept, press Q The front of the material will be deleted, and it will automatically make up the back, if you want to delete the back, press w on it.

Unified color grading] students who are not familiar with editing software, the first color grading must be very important to know how to unify the color grading, the following will tell you the detailed production steps, when editing the film, it must be combined by a piece of material, how to unify the color grading This is also a question that the student group often asks, with the same as we are to first tune a paragraph and then copy to other paragraphs, in order to be more simple and efficient, we can first select his material and then click to the effect control, In the effect controls, we can see two files, click on the blank one, and then add the lumetri color here and adjust the color, you can see that as long as it is the same piece of material, this color is applied, which can ensure the consistency of color grading, isn't it very convenient.

The normal shortcut key C cuts short and Ctrl+K contrasts the effect.

Self-build your own common effects folder] In the effects panel, there will be a lot of their own including some of their own effects, it is a bit troublesome to find, in fact, there are only a few that are usually used, you can create your own common effects folder, and drag the commonly used files into your own folder.
