Individual Genre Research - Editing

Like any genre of film, Horror films follow the conventional editing and techniques that are featured within almost every modern blockbuster film. The aim of the editing is to keep the audience interested in the film and not letting their curiosity or interest drop throughout the film. In Horror films the editing is used to create the atmosphere for the film by creating an uneasy and unnerving feeling, for scenes intended to shock the audience then the editing would fast paced, cutting from one shot to another and never focusing on one thing for two long as this gets the audiences heart beats racing and builds up for what is usually a jump scare at the end.

Another edit is the complete opposite to what I've just mentioned, another way to build the suspense through the editing is to have it really slow paced, building it the scene and atmosphere by slowly cutting to each such as it builds an uneasy and unnerving feeling for the audience, it also builds their curiosity and slowly prepares them for a large shock/surprise.
