In-camera Editing

What is In-camera Editing?

[In-camera editing] This is a video editing technique which happens inside the camera.




Instead of waiting until the post-production stage to organise footage, the cinematographer shoots each unit of narrative sequentially, filming shots in a very precise way, so that the ‘edit’ develops as filming progresses.

The film is therefore already complete by the end of production.

In-Camera Editing:

Planning shots so that they can be filmed in the precise order they will be presented in requires a great deal of fore-thought.

Some of this time is reclaimed, since no additional editing time is needed to cut out or re-order scenes later on.

In an in-camera edit, when the very last scene is filmed, the production is finished.


If footage has been recorded digitally, the film can be played straight from the camera.
