Shot Duration
SHOT DURATION
The length (duration) of the shot can determine the rhythm or pace of the film (PACING), short shots traditionally being used in scenes of violence, and long shots being associated with more lyrical moments. Shots that end slightly before the viewer has had a chance to take in all they contain can instill an atmosphere of nervous, anxious excitement; films that cut after the average viewer has comprehended the con tent of the image tend to seem calming, contemplative, or in some cases, boring.
