Editing Techniques

I have been researching the various different editing techniques.

Graphic Match -

 A cut between two objects or situations that are a similar in action to each other, suggesting a link or strong connection between the two.
I have not filmed with this technique in mind, however if I was going to use this in my title sequence, I would film maybe a shot of a knife sawing backwards and forwards and a shot of my protagonist brushing their teeth in the same motion.

Action Match - 

 When two shots are used to show the same action, creating a fluid cut.
I will be using this throughout my title sequence in order to have high continuity.

Motivated Cut -

When a cut from one shot to another is motivated by events or dialogue in the first shot.
This is not something I will be using in my title sequence because my character is meant to be completely unaffected (unmotivated) by the corpses and torture tools around him.

Jump Cut - 

Two sequential shots of the same subject are taken using shots that vary very little. It gives the effect of skipping through a short period of time.
I didn't intend to use this in the first place however after looking through my footage, some of the shots are quite long, so I will cut them once or twice to shorted the action. 

Cross Cut - 

When drama is happening in two different shots that are obviously happening at the same time. This is used to show a link between the two embedded narratives.
I will not be using this in my title sequence as I am focusing on the life of one character and putting another narrative alongside the original one could divert from the focus of his life.
If I was going to use this then I would probably take close up shots of blood dripping and weave them into the original footage.

Superimpose - 

When another shot is layered over the top of the original shot. Commonly used to suggest previous events linking to the main shot or even thoughts of the character.
I will not be using this technique as I think it looks tacky, and lightly unprofessional.
