List the five classifications of editing styles and explain how they are classified

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Editing styles can be classified according to how intrusive or interpretive the cutting is.
2. The least manipulative style is found in a sequence shot, which contains no editing at all.
3. Cutting to continuity merely condenses the time and space of a completed action.
4. Classical cutting interprets an action by emphasizing certain details over others.
5. Thematic montage argues a thesis—the shots are connected in a relatively subjective manner.
6. Abstract cutting is a purely formalistic style of editing, totally divorced from any recognizable subject matter.
