"Editing by shots. What is editing by shots? It means that if you have a close up or if you have a long shot or a medium shot, are they matching each other? "I would like to go on holiday next week with my family to Warsaw, and the oil gage indicator is constantly on." This is a long shot. Now we see the close up. Now we see again another a long shot. So the difference between shots can be nicely edited and used. "I have checked the oil level and the dipstick indicates that there is enough oil. Sometime the light goes out but other times all the warning indicators light up and I dare not leave those, especially on such a long journey." We could see that each movie you have different kind of shots for example. The long shots, the close ups, the medium shots, and when we video tape, for instance a fiction movie or a documentary, we try to video tape it from different angles, different shots, and the different movements of the camera and then in the editing we have a different variety to choose.
