Do's: editing needs to be fast, need to be able to identify characters and narrative, camera shots should have variation, length of shot should be short, smooth transitions, mise-en-scene should link to narrative, music should relate, dialogue should be clear, have an establishing shot, have a simple idea but make it effective, frame the shot and make sure that actors props are related.
Dont's: Hold the shot for to long, don't make dialogue unclear, make sure shot is framed and that nothing else is in the scene that should not be there, don't make the narrative unclear, don't use one shot type, be creative don't just use one setting (School) and think clearfully about custome (don't use school uniform), make sure that editing is smooth not jumping, don't use a complex idea or plot and don't not frame the shot.
