Graphic editing

Definition: 

Shots are cut together and make sense because of their use of elements such as colour, shape, light and dark or movement.

Uses: 

Editing graphically can achieve even continuity or strong contrast between scenes.  A graphic match is simply a graphic link between two shots that ties them together i.e. cutting between two characters who are completing the same action in different places.

Film clip:

Graphic editing is used to match action with a character's past.
