In mainstream cinema motivation in editing supports continuity. A motivated edit refers to cuts spurned on by what is happening in the scene. For example a motion in shot A might spur on Shot B, this is known as shot motivation. Motivation can be used for a variety of reasons:
- Flashbacks
- Exposition
- To see the characters POV
- To show who is talking in a conversation.
It is used by editors because the story calls the shots as in the main focus is still the main focus. Seamless editing also helps because it holds up the audiences disbelief. Motivated also aids continuity editing as the story is the main front.
