Creating Pace

·         An editor can create pace in a scene by moving from:

-          Longer takes to shorter takes;

-          A few cuts in a given stretch of film time to many cuts in a given stretch of film time.

·         An editor might increase the pace in a scene to communicate.

-          Rising action

-          Diminishing time

-          Mounting tension

-          Heightening of stakes

At the point when an editor assembles footage they would always keep the pace of the scenes as priority. As the pace of a scene significantly involves in how and what the genre of the movie is based on. The audience will react through the pace of the scene. As a rule, it will be a quick pace if it is an action film. The reason quick pace would be utilized is due to the face that a considerable measure of action will be going on in scenes at once, the editor will need to do quick paced cuts to keep up with the action on screen. While, on the off chance that it is a drama or a romantic scene the cuts are going to be much slower with a specific end goal to give the audience time to react and take in what the characters are feeling and based on their body language. Sound is just as important as different cutting techniques. For instance, in Jaws the music gets louder and fast paced when something is going to take place and increases the energy of the viewers. On the off chance that music being played is slow paced, then the odds are that it is a romantic scene or an emotional scene.

It departed off with a couple measure of cuts to a few cuts when the action started. Tension was already to be seen where the cuts were slow and at the beginning of the clip the body of a man was seen falling from the rooftop in slow motion. The second we encounter Leonard DiCaprio and the body hitting the concrete right in front of him, that is the cue for the action to take place and men running out of the building the quantity of slices tend to expand which makes the scene move at a snappier pace.

Romantic:



Romantic scene tends to be utilized to make that feeling of relaxation in a film. At the point when the editing pace gets slower it gives the audience the reassurance that everything is safe and noting bad is going to take place until the tempo of the music picks up. A case of this is Sleepless in Seattle.

In this clip, slow editing is used to demonstrate that they have quite recently met each other face to face for the first time, furthermore they are beginning to like one and another. This scene makes a séance of peace and romance, without much alteration of camera angles and edits.

Not Much Editing:

Editing is vital. However, great films have been produced without much editing being used. Alexander Nikolayevich Sokurov, is a Russian filmmaker and he proved it with one of his most significant work, Russian Ark. It was shot in one stream utilizing flawless coordination and split-second timing. He achieved this by utilizing a Steadicam and a digital camera. The risk of not using any editing means that if a slightest mistake is evident, the entire film would have had to be restarted from the beginning.

Anticipation:

Traditionally for action based movies speed editing is normally used, to achieve an intense preview and have the capacity to attract audience effectively. Using a footage that last between 2-3 seconds can instantly grab the anticipation of the viewer. A case of this is The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

There are around 32 edits within 35 seconds, it gives a sneak peek of some of the scenes to get the audience into the movie before the actual release, it is a way of marketing. Additionally, a voice over from a scene or two to give the viewers on what is going on. Before the release of a trailer, the director of the film would be the individual to pick the scenes of the film to be used. Especially the ones that they believe would be best to grab peoples’ attention.

Thriller- Psycho:



There were 15 edits before the murder scene, this tricks us by giving the feeling everything is well and nothing bad is going to take place. At that point amid the murder there were 38 edits. The speed of the editing of psycho matches the scene extremely well. This is due to the fact that when she was writing in her book the speed of the edit was slow/normal, then as she begins to approach the shower they begin to be snappier. At that point when the killer approaches the shower to kill her, the edits are to a great degree quick and it impeccably coordinates the scene as it generates the sense of nervousness. It contains such a large number of edits since it needs to demonstrate that there is something wrong taking place and to include a séance of everything is focusing on the murder as it is changing from the silhouette of the killer and the victim.

Developing Drama:


When Casey is being killed and her parents were on the way home and when they walked into the house but didn’t manage to notice her in the front yard, is creates a sense of drama.

It is a very dramatic scene in the sense that the editor was cross cutting between Scream chasing for the Casey, and her parents returning home. We can see her being slowly killed and her parents got home even though she couldn’t scream for help to her parents. It gives the audience the sense of urgency and anticipation and the fact that she wasn’t noticed and led to her brutal death gives us as viewers the sense of shock and possibly reality.
