Planning: Editing Planning - Ms B

Editing is one of the vital aspects in the process of film production. In general, editing is done to provide coherence and continuity to a film. Editing is the part of post production of film making. The person who does editing is known as the editor. Good editing can make bad production look good and bad editing can turn a good production into bad. Through editing, shots are combined in accordance with the script to create finished movie. A shot must be short enough to fulfill the purpose.  Some of the conventional uses of editing in thrillers are slow motion, slow paced editing, & fast paced editing. These types of editing are used especially in Thrillers to create tension. Slow motion along with slow paced editing are used to build the scene up and emphasizes which creates suspense. On the other hand, fast paced editing is mainly used to create adrenaline and is used when something big is happening. 

Some of the conventional uses of editing in thrillers are:

Fast paced editing

fast paced editing is where a load of clips are shown really fastly which will create suspense amongst the audience.

Slow paced editing

Slow pace editing is when clips are put together at a slower pace and this is to create suspense. Slow pace editing is used so the audience can follow the plot of the thriller but it is also used to signal that something is going to happen.

Montage editing 

is the speed of editing, where shots are quickly just posed together to create excitement.
