Understanding pace
Pace of editing can set the mood for scenes in films, fast paced editing means action and slow pace conveys suspense. The pace of editing is also used in different genres to convey different emotions. In horror films they have fast and slow paced editing to convey suspense and action, using this is effective for this genre because it keeps the audience watching because of the suspense it has. A trailer for a horror film uses this as well to get people to watch the film, a good example of this is 'The Orphan' trailer.
Cross cutting is when you cut between scenes, this is affective for fast paced action scenes. A good example of this is from the film 'inception'. Cross cutting is good to set tension and suspense for the audience.
A good example of when a film uses slow editing to create suspense is in the film 'the good the bad and the ugly. This is good because it is slow to convey that there is going to be a fast paced action sequence and lets the audience knows that it is going to be exciting. This is the scene:
Also slow paced editing is used to set a romance scene in a romantic film, for example the notebook uses this to good effect and it shows the film ks a romantic film.
This is used well because it sets the romantic scene and it sums up the films editing in one scene
