Research into editing techniques

There are many editing techniques used in media. Few major ones are:

• Continuity Editing: This is an editing style where text is presented in a chronological manner to emphasise the real-time movement narrative and to create a sense of realism for the viewers by giving the impression of continuous filming.
• Non-continuity: An editing style is when shots are mismatched to disrupt the impression of time and space. This draws the audiences' attention to the process of cutting and disturbs the illusion of 'reality'. An example is the use of flash backs.
• Parallel editing: Also known as cross cutting is where an editor cuts between two separate scenes happening in two separate locations at the same time in order to create a contrast or link between them.
• Jump cuts: A cut that moves to a very similar part of the same scene but missing a piece of action out. Mostly used when for hiding mistakes. 
• Graphic match: This is a cut from one shot to another that look visually the same. (To show clear link between both)
• Action match: A cut to another shot continuing a piece of an action or movement between the shots.
