Rolling Edit
A continuous-motion edit style where scenes flow into each other without a hard break — players in new positions before the previous scene has fully ended.
Known for
- Distinct from sweep: sweep edits have a clear break; rolling edits blur the seam.
- Favored by organic-discovery schools — the scene is never fully 'done,' just transformed.
- Harder to execute; requires the ensemble to hear the end of a scene before the players in it do.
