outside/in editing ** - answerThe traditional editing pattern in which the editor begins
with an establishing shot of the new setting—to help the audience get its bearing—and
then follows with shots that gradually take us farther into the setting. Only after we are
completely familiar with our surroundings does the editor focus our attention on details.
Inside/out editing ** - answerA dynamic editing pattern in which the editor takes us
suddenly from a line of action that we understand to a close-up of a detail in anew
setting. Because this detail is not shown in the context of a setting, we don't know where
we are or what is happening. Then, in a series of related shots, the editor backs us off
from the close-up to reveal the detail in relationship to its surroundings.
