Motivated

Motivated

A motivated edit refers to cuts that are motivated by either story, character, emotion or suspense. 

Something that happens in shot A will be the reason for shot B

Motivation can also be for:
  • Flashbacks
  • Exposition
  • To see what a character is seeing (POV) 
  • To show who is talking in a conversation

The story is the main focus for the audience, therefore motivated editing benefits continuity as the story is used to dictate what the audience sees.
