With defining pacing within a film scene and establishing the rhythm between them, an editor has to answer key questions based on his/her understanding of the sequence as a whole.
- Where would a particular shot fit into a sequence and cause the most impact?
- Which shot should be used a medium or a close-up?
- Which shots contain the better visuals to provide exposition or characterisation?
- What is the most effective use of timing in the fact that two things are being seen within shots with contrasting effect?
Rhythm in media:
