Be narrative, documentary, commercial, industrial or even animation. Not I should know what this glasses about. Let's begin 2. The Standard Cut: standard car, also known as the heart card. It's the basic type of card in editing. It puts two clips to get her connecting the last frame, a want and beginning frame off the next. The standard cut is very common and can be seen in any type of scene. Although the Satyr cut provides the least amount of visual meaning on its own, it's the most important cut in filmmaking. The meaning and emotion that the standard cut provides are highly dependent on the content of the clips that are being connected to each other. For example, if you show a man beating his dog and then cut to a clip off a woman, a smiling than woman and her smiling will seem evil. But it's said if you show a baby happily playing in the park and then cut to the very same clip off that woman, a smiling that woman and here smiling will seem sweet, so the meaning of a shot can change depending on what it's gonna be connected to with the standard car. And that's the importance of editing in movies. Besides the meaning because of movies often mostly made off the standard cuts the standard cut plays the most important role in the rhythm and the pacing of the editing of a fail.

You will know when you have made a good editing decision. When it feels right emotionally. Imagine a scene that two people going to room and close the door behind them. You can cut instantly and show the people in the room. Or you can let the audience stay behind the closed door for a while to give them an uneasy feeling. Whatever you decide to do as an editor, you should have an emotional reason for your decisions. 3.
