Engaging viewer
Films which get recorded are normally using these techniques so that they are able to grasp the audiences attention. If the film makers are not able to get the message across to the viewers then of course it is likely that the viewers will not attracted to watch the film again, also they would not recommend the film to their friends and families. For example in the film 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' there is a gun fight shot. This gun fight shot is able to engage the viewers as it is filmed from different angles and also it gradually builds this tense atmosphere through the use of music, close ups as well as the speed. Therefore, it would be a really good film because it is almost like a cliffhanger that makes the individual think what is going to occur, and as seen in the clip there are three men who have came for treasure but we are able to make our own assumptions to who will get the treasure in a deserted area.
Speed of Editing and Creating Pace
Furthermore, in each film scene that gets filmed the speed of editing will last a certain amount of time either lasting for a few seconds or minutes. At the same time the speed of the edit can create this mood with what is taking place on the screen. So two examples that show different speeds are films such as 'The Bourne Ultimatum' and 'The Notebook'. in the first film it shows action thus the scenes will be quick and change from one shot to another frequently, as this happens it enables the audience to feel suspense and anxiety. The second film is the opposite hence in this case the second film is longer without frequent changes making a relaxed mood for a romantic comedy films. Besides this there is not always a need of editing and one film that has no editing at all but instead it consists of one whole take with the use of a steadicam as well as a digital camera. Another form to create pace with editing will be trailers, and one of them is 'The Hunger Games, Catching Fire'. It needs to have a fast pace because it will have to pack a lot of detail.
A cross cut is when something will be able to occur at the same time from different locations. Cross cutting is achieved by two sequences edited together as a complete sequence but not entirely as it is used for the audience to understand that there is a relation between those two sequences. An example of where cross-cut is used is in the opening scene of Scream, where death is upon Casey making it dramatic, however the cross-cut appears to show that the parents may be able to arrive home in time to nearly save her. Hence this development of drama will be expected from the audience, and also the scenes tend to be longer at the start so that the audience are able to understand what is happening in the film and it aids in introducing the important characters. Yet the scenes begin to shorten as the film makers want to tell two stories at the same time.
Cutaway
Cutaways are used in films to show a piece of important section of action to the audience. So even when a dialogue is being spoken the voice of the person will be ongoing while a cutaway happens. Also all that a cutaway does is extend the sequence with main shots that the editor will decide to place in to the video.
