Theories #1: Bordwell and Thompson’s (2001), Four categories of Film Editing:

GRAPHIC

Graphic: Draws upon 'Pictorial Qualities' found within mise-en-scene and cinematographic elements. For example, Patterns of light and dark, fine and shape, volume and depth, movement and stasis. Considers colour similiarities and differences. Can be used to create'smoothcontinuity' or 'abrupt contrast'.

Graphic Match: Linkage of shots by graphic similiarities.



Graphic continuity: 'Centre of interest constant throughout cuts, maintaining lighting level, avoiding strong colour clashes'.



Graphic discontinuity: Plays with juxtaposition of placement of focus figures, contrasts with colour and footage types (Example, Super 8 Vs DV) and movement and stillness.
