Pace

Getting the pace right in your film is a difficult task. If you edit conversations in real time, the pace will seem slow and test the patience of your audience. Cutting too fast will seem unnatural and rushed.

Don’t be frightened of cutting chunks of dialogue out. Use cutaways (a shot of something related to the action that can be used to cover up an edit) to break up or cut short a long piece of dialogue, or help to get out of a scene.
