Weekly Challenge 1: Editing: What is compressed time? Please answer the question and [challenge] if you can provide a link to clip that demonstrates it in action. Answers are due in by Friday.
Compressed time = The compression of time between sequences or scenes, and within scenes. This is the most frequent manipulation of time in films: it is achieved with cuts or dissolves. In a dramatic narative, if climbing a staircase is not a significant part of the plot, a shot of a character starting up the stairs may then cut to him entering a room. this speeds it up and keeps it interesting

Compressed time is the most commonly used example of manipulation of time in films. It is often used to shorten situations which are unnecessarily long, such as long journeys; the audience will see the character at the start of their journey, then possibly middle and end, however they will not see the whole journey. Compressed time is commonly achieved with cuts or dissolves, and sometimes cutaways and parallel editing.

It shortens clips such as long journeys that don't need to be included into the narrative; instead of being shown the whole clip, we are shown segments of the clip so that all that we are shown is relevant and still moves the sotry line along. This technique is used through the use of editing using dissolve and wipe shots.
