Task Seven - Creating Pace Edit

Task Seven: Creating Pace Edit

For Task Seven me Ronaldo, Babajide, Usman and Theodore made a quick video mainly based on Creating Pace Editing.


  • Engaging the viewer- To try and keep the viewer interested. 
  • Speed of Editing - Some scene may last seconds whilst they are changing to different camera shots, for example in fighting scenes the shots would change all the time to show the viewer every detail of whats happening from every angle.
  • Cross Cutting - Cross-cutting is usually two scenes that are related. So cross-cutting would be used in a flashback that relates to the current scene.
  • Cutaways - A cutaway is used to expose the details to the viewers without distracting from the action. 
  • Creating pace - Creating pace is usually to create feelings, for example if would want to make the audience feel mixed emotions. 
  • Development of drama - Cross-cutting is usually a effective way to create drama, this is to try and make the viewer anxious and off their seat. 




Creating pace in a video is very effective towards the viewers watching, it engages the audience very well, mainly because when you watching fast paced videos there are many different shots so you are aware of everything, however if it was one long shot it would be boring and loose interest in the viewer and then is wouldn't be a creating pace edit video.
The speed of editing would normally be quite quick whether your doing a fighting scene or something else, as you can see in my video it wasn't to fast whilst cross-cutting between scenes but it gives you an idea of whats going to happen, if i didn't put different scenes in between each other the short storyline wouldn't make sense or be clear to the viewer and it wouldn't be one long shot. usually when you would cross-cut between two scenes they would have to relate with each other as shown in my video. so this is why creating pace editing is effect and engages the viewer.

The storyline of the video is quite dramatic, as each scene cuts to another the tension builds up, it keeps the audience curious and thinking of whats going to happen. Then off course the kid at the end gets kidnapped and this help develop drama.
