E.D cross cutting

This is where the audience gets to see two scenes together which are in the same time sequence but just cut from different scene to scene. They use this technique to build tension by showing the sequence from both sides of the characters story at the same time. For example if it was a seen with a killer and the police it would cut to the police then cut to the killer then back to the police, while it’s the same time for both characters. Usually scene like this are used to then come together in the end to a bit climax. This works very well if the shots are smooth and all link and come together at the end. It’s a good thing editors use to make the audience tense and excited; it can be used in all types of situations. Cross cutting can be used in so many things not just films, lots of examples I’ve seen are music videos where it’s at the same part of the song but it cuts to different locations or outfits or scenes. It’s an important part in editing for the film to work and look professional; the audience shouldn't be able to notice things that are wrong. Editors want to make everything in this film seem real to the viewers
