Speed of editing

Speed of editing

In every film, scenes last for a certain amount of time alot of scenes last for seconds and others a few minutes. This is the speed of editing, it is to do with the time taken to film a scene. The speed of editing can also be used to create mood in which audiences are supposed to feel as well as the characters of the film. The director can choose wether he wants his audience to feel suspense by cutting quickly and record faster. He can also slow down the editing when the director wishes the audience should focus or pay attention to something especially important scenes.

There has once been a film made and produced in Russia called "The Russian Arc" that had no cuts and not much editing done to the film.
However there have been a lot of films with a lot of different camera angles, scenes and cuts. They are mainly in action films for example one of the Bourne films.

Example of  a fast paced film with many cuts.
