One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Editing Techniques

This film trailer for One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, demonstrates a number of typical editing techniques. These include continuity editing as when Jack Nicholson's character of Randle McMurphy is at the counter talking to Louise Fletcher's character of Nurse Ratched, even though the scene would have been filmed twice from each person's point of view, Nicholson's hands are in the exact same position when we see both views.

The film follows the linear narrative as the story is told in chronological order, beginning with McMurphy entering the mental asylum and what happens whilst he is in there and how he affects the other patients.
