What is continuity editing?
Utilizing a variety of conventional film editing techniques, continuity editing merges multiple camera shots—some shot at separate times or even multiple locations—into a fluid, compelling narrative. This steady stream helps viewers suspend disbelief so they may concentrate only on a story without interruptions from the outer world.
What is discontinuity editing?
Discontinuous editing is a unique type of film editing, in contrast to traditional cinema or continuous editing. When compared to a traditional narrative, the director will purposely place shots in a discontinuous order to make them seem disjointed or confusing.
If continuity is the logical portrayal of a rational cosmos in a style that feels true to viewers, then discontinuity might be the most effective strategy to depict an illogical, completely foreign world. Science fiction movies, horror movies, psychological thrillers, independent features, and experimental films have all benefited from perplexing and even disturbing the viewer in order to depict their story in the most effective way.
What is parallel editing?
Parallel editing is the process of switching between two different scenes in a film. The sequences takes place simultaneously in two different locations in the movie's reality. The cross-cutting technique called parallel editing is the one that emphasizes contrast the most effectively.
