Film Language

Editing 

Speed: The duration of the scene. 

Sound: This is where the meaning is created and the tone is established, for example if there's a sneaky scene you're most likely to hear the tip toe music, creating the tension. As well for example the film 'Jaws' due to it including sharks, you will hear the dun dun dun theme tune, commonly linked with sharks. 

Style

straight cut - is when the camera cuts out into a black background

Fade - is where the camera fades into a black background then fades into the next scene 

Dissolve - is when one image replaces another

Graphic Match

A graphic match creates a cut between two shots that juxtapose their graphically similar images. The successive shots have compositional elements that match (shapes, colours, movements, linear); therefore, the cut can establish a link between the shots graphically and metaphorically
