Editing Techniques

In this trailer there is fast-paced editing used to move between shots and begin to establish where the story line intends to go. Although what I will be making is only going to be the first few minutes of my film I still hope to use similar editing techniques.
For example, each shot generally moves onto the next just after a fade out or black out. When I begin the editing process shortly after my filming takes place I will need to add in black shots in between each of my shots or at least the majority of them. These black fade outs will create a dramatic effect to my film and make the audience excited about the reveal of the two main characters as well as the storyline. The script will generally take the sequence of a sentence followed by a shot and then a blackout. Therefore as Jack mentions the time in his voice over, Chloe will look at her watch. Although this could appear slightly cheesy as it happens on more than one occasion, it will show that I have thought through the script to match up with the shots. As Chloe walks there will be many ellipsis' as the audience will be aware of where she has come from in-between shots.
