PRINCIPLES OF EDITING: EDITING RHYTHM
Editing Rhythm is a technique that is used so the cuts in film keeps up with the pace of the action. The action does not have to be physical, it could be the pace of a conversation (e.g. couple having an argument) or it could be the music that is keeping up the pace (e.g. Sergio Leone used music to keep the pace of his spaghetti western shootouts). Rhythm is an essential in film because it decides the mood and tone of the film, no pace could make it quite boring.
For example, the editing rhythm in the french parkour film District 13 creates great pace of the action. With every flip, punch, kick and fall there is a cut. This is often conventional of action films to have a fast editing rhythm.
