Development of Drama

Editing is used to develop drama, the way footage is editied can determine the intensity of the clip. Putting certain clips togther and using different camera shots at certain points can benefit a video and develop drama.

The development of drama within video is extremely important, editing can affect this hugely and determine just how intense a scene may be, using different camera shots at certain points can benefit video and really include the viewer within the scene, for example lets take a look at a scene within "The Shining"





















This scene is roughly six minutes long, we see a short introduction in the form of a few far away shots with both of them included while the casual talk subsides. Then when talk becomes a bit more serious we see straight shots of the people talking to intensify the moment, looking at them when they're talking , as if to include the viewer within the scene.
