Combining shots into sequences

This is the process of combining different footage together to create a clear linear storyline. For example there could be an establishing shot to a medium shot to a close up. A wide establishing shot establishes the background space and environment, it covers broad strokes of action. medium shots show body dynamics and close ups show facial reactions and for psychological conditions and states. combining the shots together it creates a sequence of shots which show continuity. When all of the shots are combined together you can tell if it is a good quality edit because you won’t be able to notice that anything has been edited. It will be as though the edit is invisible. Once you have finished editing all of the shots and footage together there will be a sequence of smooth flowing shots.

3:27 - long shot to establish  the scene  - flying across the space and hitting book shelf, this shows the force at which he is thrown and shows the speed he is thrown at, it establishes the energy that is happening in the shot.
3:28 - cuts to a medium shot- shows his body crumpling into the books, this shows the impact of his body and how many books are falling on top of him.
3:35 - it cuts to a close up - shows his concussion, you can tell this from the body language.
