Principles of Video Editing

Before discussing all the individual techniques, I would like to introduce several principles, or guide lines, first.

Although they are not unbreakable rules, but you will not go deadly wrong if you take them into consideration while editing. For some people, these are rather old, traditional principles. For beginners, and also for experienced video editors in her daily work, these principles are good starting point. Once they would have become your second nature, you can forget about them and start trying to break them.

In a sense, these are the big pictures rather than detailed techniques.

1. Continuity
2. Make the edit invisible
3. There should be a motivation for every edit
4. Always deliver a certain message
5. Bear audio in mind
6. Editing is creating
7. Don’t overuse technique or visual effect
