Editing controls sequence, duration and relationships between shots, while dialogue, music, silence and sound effects guide attention and emotion. Audiences are positioned by the interaction of these channels, not by images alone.
Example
Rapid cross-cutting with an accelerating pulse sound can make two separate events feel urgent and connected.
Key terms

Selecting and arranging shots into a sequence.
