The editor of the film Hot Fuzz builds tension in the scene where Angel dismounts from his horse through careful cutting between Angel and the villagers. This switching of camera angles raises the intensity level for the audience as Angel makes his final approach to the villagers, with a shot highlighting his sidearm just before gunfire erupts.
