Editing

Editing is the way of looking at all footage during a making of a film or TV programmes and placing it in the wanted order and joining it together. 

There are two types of editing:

1)Speed of editing = how long each shot last
2)Style of editing = how each shot is joined to the next

Speed of editing
-The length of each sequence show's the pace of the film and helps move the action along. The speed of editing will help to determine the mood of what is taking place on the screen.
-If the audience is to feel anxiety and suspense then the editing will be really quick, by changing scenes/shots frequently. For example: The Bourne Ultimatum.

-If a relaxed mood is wanted then the scenes last longer and changes less frequently. Examples of this are in romantic comedy. 

In some films no editing is needed. The film Russian Ark had no edits at all.
