In every film, scenes last for a varied amount of time. Some scenes may stay on screen for a matter of seconds, whereas other scenes may stay on screen for minutes, this determines the speed at which the plot of the film is able to advance. Speed of editing also contributes to establishing the mood of the scene and even the whole film. If the director of the film wants his audience to feel anxiety and suspense the editing will be quick, what the audience sees on screen will be changing rapidly, this is can be done to divert their attention from the important things that they should be focusing on so that when they are revealed the experience is better and delivered in a more memorable way. This is just one of the ways speed of editing contributes to the success of a film.
Speed of editing can also be used to create a more relaxed mood, if this is what the director wishes to achieve, the film will be focused on one scene for a longer amount of time and the scenes will change less frequently as a result, allowing the audience to deliberately focus on the one scene, this lets them notice everything in the scene, even the smaller, less significant details.
