Editing - the process of selecting and preparing audio, visual and written aspects of a film, it involves modifying those aspects by combing them, or putting it into sequence.
Elliptical editing - when it cuts between two scenes usually to show the passage of time, but it still makes sense to the viewer because its obvious enough for us to fill in the gap.
Long shots - are used to give an idea of locations and how many characters are in that scene. If there is only one its used to indicated solitude.
Non-diagetic sound - is the sound (usually music) that plays during a scene and the audience can hear it but the person on screen can't.
How do we know she is bending down to pick up the ring? - We know this because in a close up of her she looks down at something we can't see and then bends down as if to pick something up, then the shot cuts a close up of a ring in the grass and a hand going to pick it up. Now it didn't show what she was looking at or her bend down all the way way but because of the combination of those two shots we can fill in the gaps and determine that she saw the ring an picked it up.
Hustle:
Overhead establishing shot - is used to show us the location of the place where all the action of the scene will take place and where the characters are relative to each other.
Shot-Reverse-Shot - it is used to indicated people talking to each other without having them in the same shot, this is achieved cutting back and forth between them whenever they are talking, this leads us to presume that they are talking to each other.
Eye-line matching - is very important to the shot-reverse-shot because the characters are looking off screen while talking to where the other character would be in that scene, this indicates that they are making eye contact and thus the conversation is between them. The establishing shot is also vital to this because you know where each character is so you know who they are looking at depending of which way their eyes are looking even if they are the only ones on screen.
Why do we cut to the other members of the group? - This is used to show the other characters reaction to the one talking or to each other.
Wipe - is a transition to show a change of location and time.
Effect of using quick cuts - are used to set up a fast rhythm to keep the story moving and the audience on their toes and paying attention.
