E.D creating pace

When creating pace its usually a slow build up to a big scene. Scenes like this usually start with a chase scene or running scene then the big climax happens after the big chase. Pace is usually created using music or slow camera movement. It keeps the film even and makes sure the audience doesn't feel like they missed anything when it gets to the end. It help to make sure everything that the audience need to know is included and that it doesn't get confusing or become pointless because the story gets lost. It’s used to speed up or slow down a film in certain parts for example if there is a romance scene or it’s a romance film usually they will slow it down so the audience can connect and understand and feel part of the characters relationship. In Disney films the pace starts of slow we get to know the characters and connect with them, but then there is always a sad part where the pace speeds up because it’s getting more emotional and its building up to the big happy ending. Action films are the main genre for creating pace in though, it’s usually always fast paced it’s shown through short fast cuts from one to another. Drama films use slower pace this is for the audience to understand the scene; they use longer shots in scenes.



In this scene from the hunger games the shots are all fast paced this is a tense scene. At the start we see a long shot of Katniss in the tree then as soon as she sees the fire and starts running the shots are seconds apart which is a perfect example for fast paced editing. Its key to this scene because it builds tension for the audience and puts them on edge as soon as she jumps from the tree.
