Assembly rhythm

The assembly rhythm of a film is formed, among other things, by pacing and timing .

In film editing and assembly theory, pacing refers tothe pace thatexistswithin shots or sequences of shots. It is formed by visual movement impulses or auditory pulses.

The pacing can be metric if there is a regular movement impulse in settings or setting sequences. Most of the time, however, it is irregular and thus creates rhythmic structures.

In film editing and in montage theory, timing refers to the point in time of leaving a take and the point in time of entering a new take at an interface and the resulting duration of the mounted take.
