How can editing build tension and pace? - But making quick shots between whats going on in the scene and the reaction of the main character, the quick cuts help build tension because you never focus on anything too long so you're not sure of whats happening and its also quite disorientating, this build pace as well by getting the story to move quicker because it its condensed into lots of short shots instead of a few long ones.
Crosscutting - its cutting between two or more shots to show you everything thats going on and keep the story going at a good pace.
Reaction shots - are when the shot comes back to characters who are only spectating the main action of a scene, to show their reactions and expression to whats going on. This helps set the mood for a scene.
Seamless editing - when a scene is constructed in a certain way so that we don't notice the work of the editor because of the way and sequence that the shots are showed.
Jump cut - is an editing technique where something is clearly added or removed in a scene but the shot doesn't change, this makes the edit itself abundantly clear.
Flash back - its a cut to a different time, to show a critical point in a characters life and explain how they behave or how they got to where they are now.
How can editing be used poetically? - Editing can be used poetically by having different shots connect with meaning or reference which isn't clear straight away so the audience has to think, it can also be by having a shot with a metaphor to enhance the meaning of a shot before or after it.
