Different types of editing.

Different types of editing:

There are many different types of editing used in film. However today I was looking at a 'match cut' which is the link between two different objects or two different spaces. This is done to 'link the scene' despite filming the two things separately. It helps to create match on action. This is an example from Alfred Hitchcock's film - 'The Birds' in which Tippi Hedran is simply walking to a shop, the match cut helps to create this match on action. Also - Watch out for  Hitchcock's cameo toward the end of the clip.
