Speed of editing

The speed of editing is usually used to make the audience feel different things. For example if the audience are so feel suspense or anxiety then the scene should be quick. This means the scene can literally last for a few seconds and then change to something else so the audience are left thinking and worried for the main character.

However if the scene is to be more relaxed and slow then the scene can last for much longer times so they can show there is nothing wrong. For example this can be use din comedy films or romances. Or romantic comedies.

In some films the speed of editing is not even there. This is because the film was taken in one long take. This means the one person recording was the whole film. This needs split second timing and actors that know exactly what they need to do.

Speed of editing is also used in trailers as well. This is why they pack as much information into it as quick as possible. This is so the audience will be wondering what will happen next and what is actually going to happen in the film.

Usually in films there is a slow introduction so we can understand what is going on who people our and what we should be looking at for throughout the film. In summary it is the length and speed of shots and how much of an impact they can have on the person.

In conclusion speed of editing is used to be able to create different moods for the film. The diffrent moods can involve; Suspense, anxiety, pressure and a general sense of build up. It can also be used to create more calm atmospheres that are slower and gie information in a much briefer manner.
