Analysing genre specific editing techniques

Individual approaches and styles are used to show different genres of cinema during editing. The way these genres are edited changes the way we think about the tale and our emotions shift as a result of the strategies utilised; it catches and draws the audience in.

Fast-paced editing is frequently employed in horror films. This is done to create suspense and make the audience nervous and anxious about what will happen next. They're anticipating being astonished or scared by the next quick-cut shot. The most typical shot in these types of films is a low shot. In the shots of chosen characters, low shots evoke anxiety. They intimidate people, exude authority, and believe they are superior to the other characters in the picture. In horror films, the use of high shots and close-up shots denotes vulnerability, usually in the victims. 'One Missed Call' is an example of a film that effectively employs these strategies. The victims are plagued by inexplicable phone calls in which they hear themselves being murdered. When they learn of their fate, the close-up pictures capture their terror and anguish.

Action films, like horror films, feature fast-paced editing. Because of the nature of the film, this must be utilised, as it denotes the usage of adrenaline by the protagonists. Fast editing creates a sense of terror and danger in the spectator about what is going on or about to happen. Fast-moving shots are often associated with action movies because they feature automobile chases, combat scenes, or intense violence in some fashion. Long shots will be used in action movies to set the setting. A car chase sequence in 'The Bourne Supremacy' makes excellent use of these editing methods. Low shots, for example, are employed on all three persons involved in the chase in three cars. It demonstrates that they all believe they have authority over one another. The point of view shots depict the setting and events from the perspective of one of the characters, and they are always very fast-paced, with quick cuts between views. This heightens the suspense.

Romantic comedies, sometimes known as "Rom-coms," are films that combine aspects of comedy and romance. A rom-basic com's plot is that a male and a female meet, fall in love, break up, and then reconnect because they can't live without each other. Soft editing is used in these types of films because there is nothing essential to emphasise. To keep it neutral, a lot of mid-shots are used, and they highlight the characters' body language toward one other. The shots are longer because the editors want the audience to understand the tale and not be confused. The shots are longer because the editors want the audience to understand the tale and not be confused. They also employ the eye-line match approach, as no other figure appears to be looking down on them or to have any control over them. It's all really well-balanced and sensitive, and the use of comedy in these films is what makes them so enjoyable. These two elements complement each other beautifully, and the editing skills added to this. It places a greater emphasis on camera angles and shots, as well as setting the scene. '
