Editing terminology

If you are unsure about editing techniques - this link is quite detailed but has some good examples and definitions.  It is quite technical but worth exploring:- http://classes.yale.edu/film-analysis/htmfiles/editing.htm

In addition, this has lots of contemporary clips and gives useful definitions with good exemplars.  It doesn't go on to explain the impact of the editing shots in terms of representation but it certainly gives you some good clarification.  To master this, you will want to take an hour to fully explore and understand this page:- http://collegefilmandmediastudies.com/editing/

There is an 11 minute film on this link that discusses the effects of using contrast, parallelism, symbolism, simultaneity and leit motif (repetition) in editing.  It is focused on the effects rather than the cuts per se but it also has useful clips http://www.indiewire.com/article/watch-vsevolod-pudovkins-5-editing-techniques
