In biology, the term homeostasis refers to the ability of the body to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions. The stability, or balance, that is attained is called a dynamic equilibrium; that is, as changes occur, the body works to maintain relatively uniform conditions. Controlling such things as body temperature, blood pH, and the amount of glucose in the blood are among the ways the body works to maintain homeostasis.
Editing is the process of selecting and preparing written, visual, audible, and film media used to convey information. The editing process can involve correction, condensation, organization, and many other modifications performed with an intention of producing a correct, consistent, accurate and complete work.[1]
As a result, editing needs to be conceived of in a broader manner. This is the value of Bordwell and Thompson's discussion of editing. DEFINITION: Bordwell and Thompson define editing as the coordination of one shot with the next. This definition expands the concept of editing beyond the joining of the two shots to encompass all the dimensions at stake there. It looks beyond the transition between shots--fade, dissolve, wipe, or cut--to look at their total relationship. Transitions are conceived only as time cues.
