Editing.

 Continuity Editing.

Putting related shots together to create a logic change in time despite having cuts between scenes. Creating continuous movements, time being the only thing that has to remain the same in order to allow the movie the freedom to flow in a correct, less confusing way. The purpose of continuity editing is to show time moving on without drastic changes or things that wouldn't make sense in the movie. An example of continuity editing could also be crosscutting, scenes that go back and forth continuously to show things happening at the same time.

Non Continuity Editing

The opposite to continuous editing, when the shots in a film aren't put together in an order that shows time being correctly ordered,  it's done to show the cuts that take away time being in a correct order. They can be used in scenes that go back in time and is similar to montage editing.  Example.

Editing transitions

Cuts are used to cut to a new scene without an effect, creating a simple path to a new moment in the film. Cutaways are shots that leave main scenes of action to show the background or lore supporting the actions of a scene. Insert shots are a cut used to focus on a more important part of a scene. Contrast cuts are used to juxtapose another scene. Defocusing transitions are done by adjusting the focus of a camera until it is no longer clear. Dynamic cuttings are more than one transition used to show the editing on purpose, making something blatantly obvious to the sight of the viewers. J-cuts are cuts that allow sound to be heard before a scene plays out. An L-cut is when the sound carries on into the next shot of the same scene. dissolving transitions are  transitions that happen over a short period of time from one shot to the next. Fade transitions are when the screen will change from black or to black in order to show the next scene. Iris transitions are circular transitions that fad or dissolve to the next shot. Invisible cuts are used to make scenes seem like they have been taken in one shot when they actually haven't in one full movement. Match cuts can be audio or video transitions that use other parts of a scene to transition into another one. Jump cuts are used to show a scene changing over time, they can be used to make a scene appear longer or shorter than they actually are, they are obvious cuts within a scene, usually in the background. Wash transitions are similar to fading but don't use black as their final colour. Wipe transitions are used to replace shots with other shots in a direction or shape. Morph transitions are used to show the change in a character.
