Editing
Video editing is the process of manipulating and rearranging video shots to create a new work, editing is usually considered to be one part of the post production process - other post-production tasks include titling, colour correction, sound mixing, etc.
Many people use the term editing to describe all their post-production work, especially in non-professional situation, editing involves:

• Rearranging, adding and/or removing sections of video clips and/or audio clips
• Applying colour correction, filters and other enhancements
• Creating transitions between clips

Why is editing important?

The reason to why editing is important is because it prevents miscommunication between scenes. 

Editing is an important aspect in the process of film production. Generally, editing is done to provide continuity to a film. Editing is the part of post production of film making. Good editing can make a bad production look good and bad editing can turn a good production into bad, which reinforces why editing is so important. 

What types of editing styles will you include in your thriller & why? (3 or 4 different styles)
The types of editing styles i will be using followed with the reasons are:

• Fast editing - Four our opening scene of our thriller we will be using the editing style 'fast editing', the reason to this is because it will convey a lot of information very quickly we have also used this technique as it is conventional to a thriller as it causes chaos, which catches the audience's attention. We will try to use the fast editing technique to bring attention the non-verbal actions of the speaking character
• Match on action- For one of our scenes we have used the editing 'match on action' for when one of our characters are walking through the door and the camera has shown this, the reason to why we have chosen this is because it shows two different points of views so that the audience gets an understanding of both but so that they don't get confused with the narrative
• Intercutting- We have used this shot for our opening scene for our thriller opening. The opening scene is first on the girl being trapped and then 'intercuts' to how it all began. This is conventional to a thriller as it keeps the audience is suspense as they are eager to find out what has happened and how the girl had been trapped in the first place.
• Point of view- We have used this shot in our final scene for when we have shown the innocent girl walking in a forest but as she begins to run, the camera is being hand held (point of view) to show the audience her point of view. This is conventional to a thriller as it creates a relationship between the audience and the character as they can imagine and view the victims point of view, this shot is also conventional as the victims are always the one's running away.
