Edit with Emotion in Mind

1. Determine the emotion you want to evoke in the audience.
2. Choose the right shots and sounds to support that emotion.
3. Cut between shots to build tension, release it, and build it again.
4. Consider the use of sound, music and silence to enhance the emotional impact.
5. Pay attention to the pacing of the edit and make sure it’s consistent with the emotional tone.

Test the edit with an audience to see if the emotional impact is achieved. Remember that every audience is different, so it’s important to experiment and see what works best for the specific project you’re working on.
