Purposes: 5. Combining Shots Into Sequences

Combining shots into sequences is the most basic and most used method in film and video editing. It is just placing several shots after one another, creating a seamless flow between the preceding and succeeding shots in order to become a full sequence. They describe the edit as 'invisible' - because it's almost as though you can't tell that editing has taken place. Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro are good programmes in order to hone this skill.

I could have chosen many examples but the one I ended up going with is the tipping scene from 1992's, Reservior Dogs. I have chosen this specfic scene because it features a lot of characters, who all have at least one line of dialogue. This causes the editing team to constantly cut to the different characters who are speaking, or to the one's making a reaction to another character speaking - such as laughing.
