Creating Pace

Pace:

An editor can create pace in a scene by moving from:
- Longer takes to shorter takes
- A few cuts in a given stretch of film time to many cuts in a given stretch of film time.

An editor might increase the pace in a scane to communicate:
- Rising action
- Diminishing time
- Mounting tension
- Heightening of stakes


























This YouTube video which is Fan-Made and is Dead pool and an avenger movie is an example of pace. The sequence starts with a beginning of a fight which about to incur, in the beginning of the fight the takes tend to be longer. The takes begin to get shorter in length when the action gets more entailed with explosions and bullets being fired. The editor has done this to keep the audience entertained and aware of what all actors within the fighting scene are doing, for example; each Avenger within the scene the camera rotates between them almost to give their POV (Point of View) of the situation in which they are all facing from personal perspective. Towards the end of the scene many cuts occur in a relatively short space of screen time. The editor uses a high level of shots to allow the audience to be aware of everything that is happening to each character, and shows each owns individual perspective.
