Purposes
Storytelling:
We have used film for generations now to tell our stories both fictional and non. In terms of engaging the viewer, the story has to be both believable and something that the viewer can relate too. If it lacks one then the viewer is likely to lose interest quickly, and results in a flop.
Relationship to genre is important because it defines the USP and key demographic target. The two main blocks are fiction and non-fiction. Now, even though non-fiction is factual, there is still the problem of creative licencing. All this aside, genre classifications are both specific and sometimes cross over. Where it may be easy to mistake Fantasy ands Sci-Fi, it would be impossible to mistake war and Comedy. Hybridity is common in film and TV, where two or more genres come together to create a unique combination that spreads out to more than one demographic audience.
Quite often films can trigger emotions and motivate people to achieve things that they may never have thought of doing before. That person may even contribute to the film world in the future.
Combining Shots Into Sequences:
Combining Shots Into Sequences Involves placing shots together and making the scene flow smoothly. When done correctly the edits are invisible to the audience. If not done properly, the cuts become visible and does not look appealing to the eye.
Creating Pace:
Creating pace refers to the editing process where the cuts are sped up or slowed down. Fast cuts increases pace where as slow cuts create a slow pace. Fast pace is more present in action movies and slow more present in drama, as so shown beneath.
