Tighten Your Edits
There’s a tendency among new editors to leave too much extra footage before and after cuts. The result can be a snail paced scene with a lack of impact.
Fixing this problem is simple: cut the dead air! You can also tighten your edits and improve flow even more by overlapping the dialogue from the next shot with the current shot. I re-edited a part from Episode 4 of How Could It Not Happen to show how this can be used. In the “Loose Edit” there is a delay in the delivery of the line “What are you waiting for?”. In the “Tighter Edit” the audio from that line starts before the cut. This not only speeds up the pace, it effectively creates the impression that one character is cutting the other off.
