Relationship to Genre SM

Different genres of film have different conventions when it comes to editing, different techniques and styles are used to illustrate the genre.

Action
In an action film there is a lot of fast editing, this is to show the fast pace of the movie, in most action films there is a car chase or a fight scene, so fast editing is frequently used. Long shots are also used to establish the scene.

Horror
In Horror films fast editing is also used, this is to scare viewers. The audience are anxious as they do not know what is coming next and are waiting to be scared by the next quick shot. Low shots are also used to create fear, it shows the characters intimidation and authority over the other characters.
