Speed of Editing

Speed of Editing

 

The speed of editing is usually used to make the audience feel different things. For example if the audience are to 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 used in comedy films or romances. 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.
