creating pace

Creating pace is used in films to speed up or slow down a film. A good example of this would be in action films in car chases or in fights. For the action films the scene will have a fast pace which will change the angle of the shot every 2 or 3 seconds. In other genres of films such as drama they use slower paced shots which have a long time on one subject whilst in a single angle. This could be used to show emotion on a persons face. 

Here is an example of a fast paced scene.
