Sequence: A series of shots (both video & photo) that are put together to tell a story. We use Adobe Premiere as our software to edit video to create our sequences.

Wide Shot- Usually the first shot used in a sequence. It tells our audience and viewers where we are and the location of what we are about to see.

Close Ups- Close up shots provide detail, show emotion, also called a "tighter" shot.

In the Industry, editing is also knows as "cutting"

Video Editing is best described as assembling footage from the ground up in order to create a story.
