At the beginning of the clip from "The Wild One", the master shot was initiated, allowing the viewers to become familiar with the setting and giving them a sense of what will take place. Before the close-up scene of the actors was determined, the viewers would get a full body view of the actors and that is also a part of the traditional style of Hollywood editing as mentioned in The Cutting Edge. The scene in "If" does begin with an establishing shot of the two characters being in the city. In addition, there is some montage editing on different images being presented in a clip. I would not agree that the clip in "If" follows the classical Hollywood pattern, in comparison to "The Wild One". It goes in sort of a distinct style that does apply to the rules of editing.
"The Wild One" gives the viewer an understanding of the character's whereabouts. For the reason that in the introduction clip, it shows a sign for the cafe and bar. The setting illustrates that they are in a bar as well as if the viewer did not notice the sign. In the clips, you can distinguish things that took place in a short amount of time for the reason of continuity. The majority of the shots in the clip show both characters at the same time, but when it is the eyesight of a person, the viewer understands who is looking at what. "If" points out the setting in each scene by showing the outside of the place before the characters enter, such as the motorcycle shop, as they traveled to the cafe and the outside of the cafe. Given that they traveled to the cafe on a motorcycle shot in jump cuts, this informs the viewer that much time hasn't passed. This was a combination of montage editing and continuity editing.
"The Wild One" directly follows the rules of editing for the reason that it began with a master shot, then the 180-Degree rule, which then allows the close-up shots. The traditional style of Hollywood editing is an opening scene with a master shot, which would lead to all the other necessary shots, before moving along yet still in order. "If" somewhat goes out of the norm of the rules of editing, however, there were still standard techniques used. When the characters arrived at the cafe, each clip is in order and there were no jump cuts. There was one clip that I noticed that did not abide by the film's language use of proper shots. The clip of the characters ordering their coffee does not use the 180-degree rule for their conversation, which somewhat confused me as to who was speaking. Consequently, the other clips followed the traditional style of Hollywood editing, which was an eye-line match and matched cut to show the three sitting at the table.

In the documentary The Cutting Edge, we are told what rules were in place during the traditional Hollywood editing process. However, we are also shown in this documentary and through these two clips how these rules were broken in the 50s and 60s.
The first clip does not follow all Hollywood "requirements". The scene does not open with a traditional master shot.The typical Hollywood master shot would not have been moving; in The Wild One, this atypical master shot pans across the length of the cafe-bar as the two characters walk. The beginning of this scene also features a medium close-up on Marlon Brando's character. Close-ups were frowned upon during this cinematic age, so this was a bold move by Benedek, the film's director. The editing in this scene keeps the timing of the story intact; the 180-degree rule, an essential rule of cinematography, is not broken in this sequence. Overall, The Wild One, at least in this clip, implements some of the essential rules, but strays away from the traditional moves of Hollywood editing.
The second clip is structured more to Hollywood's standards, yet rules are still broken in this scene. This scene features more close-up shots than the first, an angle rarely used in Hollywood. Later on, a lot of medium shots are used, mainly to capture the expressions of Mick and the girl during their fantasized romp in the cafe. The timing in this scene is more ambiguous than in the first clip; this, I believe, is due to a break in the storyline when Mick is dreaming his sexual fantasy. The 180-degree rule is not needed much in this particular clip, but it is still implemented when needed. That said, this movie bends the Hollywood mold, both in plot and its process of editing.
If... and The Wild One have proved to directors for decades that the editing code can be broken. After all, according to the fictional pirate Hector Barbossa, "the code is more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules". László Benedek and Lindsey Anderson definitely treated the rules of Hollywood editing just like that
