Research on Editing techniques

Valve Sound system documentary

We really liked the way this channel 4 documentary was edited. We like the way they used jump cuts which keeps the audience's attention because it is short and quick. This would appeal to our target audience as it doesn't focus on anything for too long as they get bored easily if something doesn't interest them. This would keep them interested as they will never know what is coming next (the element of surprise).

The bit of editing we like and wish to use in our production is the jump cuts back and forth from different shots. This looks really good and would save a lot of time to include other clips.

We were fascinated in the editing techniques used in this documentary as it was something we were unfamiliar with. We would like to try and mimic the editing techniques used close to the beginning where they maneuver from one shot to another by a wipe of graffiti on screen. We found this interesting because we like the effect for our title as this is also in graffiti.
