Conventional Editing

The Editing
The editing more than often used is quite fast paced. This is a strong tool the editors use to portray the characters thoughts, which in thrillers are often strange or delusional. They may also use layering, which will repeat certain scenes from the film which are significant. The illusion that things are going a lot faster than they actually are gives the all too well known feeling of 'on edge'. The idea of fast pace editing can be seen mainly in a chase scene, where there is little dialog and choppy cuts from shot to shot to give the rushed feeling. This creates uncertainty within the audience, the fluidity of previous scenes allow the audience to fall into a false sense of security, where they feel they know what will happen next, however using this type of editing changes that illusion, keeping them guessing.
