Editing involves assembling shots in a way that shapes the rhythm and pace of a film. There are different types of transitions between shots, such as fades, dissolves, and wipes, which can blend or connect two shots. Editing techniques like cross-cutting, montages, and adjusting the length of shots can impact the pace and emphasize changes in mood or action within a film.
