ABSTRACT
Editing in the Vertical Plane Straight-forward editing, one shot choice following another, can be described as temporal editing, assembling shots for playback in a particular order over time.
Compositing, superimposing, or assembling of various layers of source footage and graphic elements one above another should therefore be thought of as spatial editing construction. The key attributes of such work can be thought of as:
• Depth: the order and scale of the elements one above another,
• Object Specificity: effects parameters unique to a particular layer or group of layers
• Directional: if an object or layer element is seen to be in motion.
