Editing to rhythm

Editing to rhythm is when the length of time of a shot is manipulated. Most of the time the length of a shot can determine what effect it has and what mood it gives out. For example of you had a fast rhythm of shorter-length shots this would heighten the tension or action





as you see in this clip the fact that they used short shots ment you at the edge of your seat and you want to know whats going on.


on the other hand if you irregular rhythm as you can see in this starting sequence from pineapple express

it can create an uncertainty as the audience don't understand if the film is sinister or not.
