The Word Times (ii)

Ok, more word now, this time they're all about...
EDITING !

• the Wipe - a screen moves across the screen, replacing the first shot with a second, different shot. A good example of this is Baz Luhrman's 'Romeo + Juliet'.
• the Montage - a set of fast-paced clips created to show the passing of time. It is normally the same set of clips so that the viewer recognises what is going on in the film. A good example of the montage is Darren Aranofsky's 'Requiem for a Dream'.
• Jump Cuts - used frequently in films, the shot cuts from one scene to a completely different one with no intermission and can look rather silly if done poorly !
