Get an overview of what rhythm is, and how it affects video editing.

- Rhythm affects cohesion, and influences how your audience may receive a message.
- Rhythm is comprised of a series of beats.
- The pace of your visual cuts help to define the rhythm of your overall edit. For example: shots that are longer between cuts = slow pacing; shots that are shorter between cuts = fast pacing.


What is Rhythm?

This lesson will teach you three simple steps on how to express feeling through rhythm and pacing. 

- Use music for the foundation of establishing pace. The beats can act as a great starting point for cutting down your footage.
- Observe, and adjust pacing accordingly. Think about the story you want to tell, and how you want viewers to feel.
- Create an X-factor to inject uniqueness into your edits. For example: surprising the viewer by breaking a rhythm that you previously established.
- Get inspired by paying attention to videos and films, and how pacing contributes to the feelings evoked.
