There are several styles of editing in film making and media which can all be used to make the filming or work more effective.

Graphic Match:

Graphic matches are an effective trick which directors use for a transition of scenes where the two image of objects are similar usually the shape, like in this example the drain hole and eye both have a circular shape.


Dissolves:

A dissolve is very popular in modern film making, it is usually used to show/cut a period of time for example it may show the sun in the afternoon the you may see a video description saying "4 hours later" and then it shows the sun setting the use of a dissolve is very useful and effective.


Straight Cuts:

Straight cuts are probably the most popular type of cut, it is when one shot jumps to another without any jumps or anything this can make a shot or scene to seem more realistic or relateable.
