Task 10-understanding pace

Understanding Pace

Speed of editing- Creating pace

Creating pace while editing in a film is where a films speeds up or slows down certain parts of the film. Pace changes the way the audience view film and make them understand it in different ways, an example of films that would use as a fast pace would be action films, as you'd expect there to maybe be a car chase or some sort of running scene where fast pace would be relevant. To the create a fast pace scene, shots are cut quickly and moved to other different shots to create the feeling of pace. A slower pace would be used in a drama/love story type of film. this allows the audience to see and understand the scene and characters fully without getting distracted by quick cut shots. This is done by having longer shots in a scene. 

Speed of editing
In a film each scene may last matter of seconds, or it could continue for minutes but the length of each sequence establishes the pace of the film moving the action along.

Cutaways
The cutaway technique is utilised to pack time or offer a visual reprieve to the gathering of people. The reason for it is that it removes from the primary activity for a brief timeframe. These sort of shots happen in the meantime as the primary activity, demonstrating the group of onlookers what different plots are happening at the same time. They are additionally used to separate two separate plot lines together.
