Types of Editing Continued:
Editing to change the duration of time is a common practice either to shorten an event to show only the important highlights thus condensing time or to lengthen time making a very short period of time take longer by expanding it through editing.
Condense editing is used to shorten the length of a video by extracting just the essence of the material. During production much more video is usually shot than is going to be used. Part of an editor’s job is to find the meaning in the video footage and use it to communicate the purpose of the video project.
Expand editing is used to make a short period of time take longer then it actually did or would. In movies this technique is used to add drama and suspense to action that might normally happen too quickly. Other ways of expanding time a with editing are using slow motion to lengthen an action or by using multiple shots of the same event to show the same moment in time from different points of view.
