Editing

Editing is part of putting the film together with different shots to help create the story and atmosphere with different transitions. It makes a movie what it is, creating something that wsnt intended and makng it better. For example in 'Mean Girls' when "the plastics" are having a 3-way conversation on the phone, there are three different frames to make the scene look affective. It allows us to see each character at the same time, and shows us what they are all doing. It is also quicker and more affective than showing each individual character i one shot.
For a director, editing is important to create what they first saw their film to be watched like. With realistic explosions, slowing down time, speeding it up and so on. The timing of a cut can shock or amuse audiences. It is important to get this right, and to create the right impact without going too far. Length and choice of shots shape our response to everything we see happening on the screen.
An example of a film with a lot of various types of cuts in is 'North By Northwest'. There is a lot of cross cuting in this film, meaning lots of quick short cuts, which helped build tension in sceness where nessaccery. There are a lot of scenes that fade out, showing time has passed since the previous scene, like when Roger is punched in the forest the scene fades out to when he is in hospital. Reverse shots are used aswell, they show both the characters reactions and how they are saying things, e.g. at dinner on the train when Eve and Roger are talking (there is eyeline matching - meaning it looks like one character is talking into off screen space, but then he director shows the spectator what they're looking at).
And in 'Fargo'
