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.
