When a character is focused all his reactions etc and also the camera shows other shots of people and scenes which are fast and frequently shown to create an effective mood for the situation, different shots of all charters short shots to longer shots for close ups to long shots, this builds tension and pace.
Cross cutting is when two different scenes or actors are compared from different places, scenes the cross cuts displays both actors in different places doing individual things but we as the viewer get the idea of what they are aiming to do, tells two peoples story in the same amount of time and almost together.
Reaction shots are when a characters actions and others reactions are shot on the same scene back and forth so we as the viewer can see the reactions of the people watching and also the actions of the people which are provoking these reactions.
Seamless editing is when us as the viewer does not no what is going to happen next.
Our mind does not know what is going to happen next and keeps us as the viewer entertained and builds our expectations up about what is going to occur.
A Jump cut is a moment of discontinuity of an image or footage. This editing looks like a mistake but in fact its not, it quickly jumps from one piece of footage to another. the images are also shown whilst the voice or audio is still playing whilst different images are still going.
A flash back is when footage goes back in time and the person who experiences the flash back is reminiscing their past. This uses of editing achieves showing the persons past effectively and makes things easier to understand why the charters place is currently there at the present time. for example in a film called dead man shoes there are flash backs of the main charters disabled brother being bullied and abused by a group of people and later on the older brother gets his revenge on each person involved in the group.
Editing can be used poetically by using images and story line which can confuse the viewer and may not particularly have a specific meaning but can be interpreted as many different meanings to the scene.
