Creating pace

Creating pace

This involves speeding up or slowing down the film to assist the audience to feel what they're supposed to feel at that particular moment. Speeding up and/or having short cut shots during an action scene will have the audience's heartbeats up, while in a romantic movie the shot will be slow and long to help the viewer feel relaxed.

Fast pace:

Fast paced scenes will start slow and will get faster by adding more short, quick shots and dramatic music. By doing this, the viewer will be caught up in the action.

Slow pace:

Slower paced movies will have longer shots allowing the viewers to understand the scene and the actors better. Comedies, dramas and romantic films tend to use this technique so the audience can relate to the characters.
