Editing

editing techniques are used in films to make the film fit together and more interesting. techniques like cuts can be used to make transitions more fluid and appealing to the eye. the pace of the editing can be modified to create suspense and adrenaline.

Speed of editing

the speed of editing has the power to determine the mood of the scene whether it is a high octane high action scene or a dramatic love scene. the speed can build suspense in a scene in the length of a certain shot.
This scene involves a fight between bea and vernita from the film kill bill. in this scene the pace of the shots are exceedingly fast due to the amount of action in the shot. generally in a fight scene there is a lot of shots to highlight the action and high tempo.



in the end scene of the butterfly effect the audience see the main character in there happy ending. the pace of the shots was very slow and considerably less than the kill bill scene in comparison, as the butterfly effect scene has 12 slow cuts whereas the kill bill fight scene has 20+ within the 1st minute.

Film trailer 

A film trailer is a magnificent way to allow the audience to connect to the movie. the wide variety of techniques used in the trailer enables the audience to get a sample of how the experience of watching the the film would be and appears appealing.this is in fact a good way of advertisement.

The trailer Lockout captures many of the techniques used in editing to make the trailer as effective as it is such as fade to black. evidence of this is when we get to an outer space shot and is used continuously after that. As this is a trailer the use of fading in and out is used well as this effect is used usually to introduce something and since the trailer is used to advertise it can be said the fade to blacks introduce the film to the audience. the audience respond to the edits as if they where introductions and makes the viewers intrigued


Psycho uses  basic camera shots and the dissolve effect this may be because of the lack of technology back in the day. the use of straight cuts may amplify the simplicity of the attack. and make the scene more realistic as there are no big cuts to make edits noticeable.


the jump cut in this scene is used for the fact that the editing represents his emotion. it shows how his mind is all over the place and does not have a calmhead. A jump cut is also used to save time




the editing in this clip from the film V for Vendetta is a final fight scene and uses multiple editing techniques gradually building tension until it peaks and creates an exciting scene. straight cuts and slow editing are used at the start as they talk so that the audience understands the context of what is happening this allows the viewer to follow the scene easily intensifying the scene
