The purposes of editing: how we create pace and engage the viewer through editing
The editing stage begins in the post-production stage, that is where the film or a television piece is editing to create the final outcome. This is made into a piece suitable for its target audience. The role of an editor can be one of the most important roles when creating either a film or television piece because they are the key collaborator with the director.
The genre of horror commonly combines both slow and fast cuts to build up and release tension. Slow paced shots are used to distress the audience but also to convince them into carry on watching. Low angled shots are used to create fear as this shows to the audience the characters fear and intimidation. This type of editing that creates anxiety within the viewers is closely matched by the choice of sound used alongside the scene.
The genre that uses fast-paced/ cuts to keep the audience engaged in the film or television programme is the genre Action. This is because the narrative of the film is based around continuous action so the shots have to match the performance to enable the interest of the audience.
The conventions of editing
The 180 degree rule
In film making, the 180-degree rule is a basic guideline depending on the spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene
continuity
Continuity in editing just means that everything flows in a consistent, orderly and smooth For example, in one frame of a movie, a man might be wearing a red shirt. In the next scene or frame, he should still be wearing the same red shirt, not a blue or green one -- indicating that the shot was maybe repeated the next day and the wardrobe people forgot to have the actor wear the same
