Editing - The Barn

Continuity Editing

Continuity editing is the process, in film and video creation, of combining more-or-less related shots, or different components cut from a single shot, into a sequence so as to direct the viewer's attention to a pre-existing consistency of story across both time and physical location.

Events in chronological order and is the most common/commercial editing style because of its linear progression. It emphasises real-time movement of narrative and creates a sense of realism. 

Entering the Property

Viewing the Property

Leaving the Property

Returning back after signing & sorting out the renting agreement 

Sorting out the rubble left behind

Ghost Appears

Escaping from the Ghost

Leaving Property & Hitting Ghost

Ellipsis

The removal of part of the narrative to speed up the action. I used this when the character said she was going up the stairs - I cut out the walking to the stairs & climbing the whole stairs. This was so then the audience would stay engaged.

Fade - Ending

Image is edited to fade and disappear, leaving either a white or black screen. I used this in the end scene when they are escaping from the property in the car. I faded to a black screen to show the event ending.
