Motivated Editing

Motivated edits are when shots are cut because of sound or so that the audience can see a conversation between people; the camera angles will be changed and shots will be cut short and edited together so that the scene will show a clear conversation alternating between the people having the conversation; so we can see who is talking/who is listening and their reactions. The editor has to use the footage to make decisions on how to edit the shots together so that it makes sense.

An example is the conversation between Gandalf an Frodo from Lord of the Rings when Gandalf arrives in Hobbiton.
