Engaging the viewer, developing drama and creating pace
Engaging the viewer is absolutely essential to the film industry, it separates interesting watchable films from boring films. There are many ways to engage a viewer, even before production of a film and its script, people will have decided with what the story would be like and how it will be told. Each director has a specific style that can be identified throughout their films.
The way footage is edited can determine the intensity of the clip. Putting certain clips togther and using different camera shots at certain points can benefit a video and develop drama.
Creating pace is when editing is used to speed up or slow down a film. The pace of an edit can alter the way the audiences views the film. For example action films are usually fast paced, this is done editing shots so they are short and then quickly cut to another shot. Drama films normally use slower shots,, this is to allow the audience to see and understand a scene, and to understand the character. this is done by having longer shots in a scene.
