What is a pre-lap? The pre-lap is an editing technique that introduced audience to sounds from a scene before we cut to it, thus creating a sense of cohesion and narrative flow. It is an editing technique used by countless film-makers, but is rarely noticed, let alone analysed. This video essay breaks down the pre-lap as an editing tool, and shows how this simple technique can be used in a surprising variety of different ways โ creating humour and tension, emphasising themes, progressing the story and developing characters.
