Abstract

The article describes five different short films and their editing techniques. Film 1 focuses on appearance anxiety of young women caused by external influences. The authors use black and white filming and sound montage to add a humorous effect. Film 2 shows the shadow of desire through a transfer student who turns to the dark side and uses flashbacks and j-cuts to add depth and intrigue to the story. Film 3 tells the story of a college student who receives an “F” on her transcript and uses flashbacks and internal monologues to reveal the cause and effect of the story. Film 4 is about a little girl’s day in high school and uses long shots, jump cuts, montage, and empty scenes to tell a story of loneliness and the importance of facing life. Film 5 is a story about family affection and uses continuous editing and montage to create an immersive cinematic narrative.
