Motivated editing

the motivated edit is where the editor uses the footage to make decisions about where to cut to another shot. an example of this is in a conversation in a film if a person is talking then another person talks the editor will cut to the person who has started talking. when this happens the footage has been used to make the decision to cut to the shot of the other person talking.

basically when two people are talking and one of them stops and the other person starts. the person stopping talking is the motivation to cut to the next shot
