+### Pacing & Rhythm
+
+> Editing is choreography: every cut should land on a beat, whether visual or aural.
+
+Note:
+Open by clapping a simple 4‑beat rhythm and asking participants to nod when they *feel* the right moment for the next cut.

+Pacing & Rhythm
+#### 1. Shot Length & Emotion
+
+| Shot Duration  | Typical Feel                     |
+| -------------- | -------------------------------- |
+| 1–3 s rapid    | Urgency, tension, excitement     |
+| 4–7 s moderate | Conversational, neutral          |
+| 8+ s long      | Contemplative, dramatic, awkward |
+
+Note:
+Show a compilation: music video (fast), dialogue scene (medium), Tarkovsky clip (long). Ask how mood shifts with duration.

+Pacing & Rhythm
+#### 2. Cut on Action Peaks
+
+* Slice during *movement apex* (hand lands on table, door slams shut).
+* The motion masks the splice—viewer’s eye follows flow, not the edit.

+Pacing & Rhythm
+#### 3. Cut on Dialog Beats
+
+* Trim silences that don’t serve story.
+* Let reaction shots *finish* a spoken sentence; avoid stepping on final syllables.

+#### 4. Rhythm Devices
+
+| Device              | Purpose                                |
+| ------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
+| **L‑cut music bed** | Glide pace across scenes               |
+| **Speed ramp**      | Heighten flourish (sports, DIY)        |
+| **Montage**         | Compress time and build energy         |
+| **Hold frame**      | Let emotion breathe, signal importance |
+
+Note:
+Mention Kdenlive’s Time Remap effect: right‑click clip → Add Speed Change → keyframe velocity for ramps.
