Question

What is the set of techniques that governs the relationship between shots?

Answer 1

Answer:  D) Editing

Explanation:

If you search out "Editing describes the relationship between shots" with quotes, then you'll find a page that says exactly that word for word (I would post the link, but it's against the rules on this site). The page then goes on to explain that "The relationship between shots may be graphic, rhythmic, spatial and/or temporal."

Editing basically is the set of bridges between different shots. Depending on how you edit your film, you can help tell your narrative. If you decide to do a lot of quick cuts, then this would likely be useful for an action sequence. This is handy because action or fight scenes tend to have a lot going on, which means a lot could go wrong. Also, quick cuts can hide any imperfections that can't be ironed out with principal photography or reshoots. Think of the saying "we'll fix it in post", except you don't need to heavily rely on CGI or visual effects.

If on the other hand you want a slow scene to build tension, then you probably won't have many quick cuts here. Instead you might have shots that have long duration that focus on the character's faces perhaps to build suspension. It all depends on what kind of mood, theme, emotion, etc you're trying to set the tone for the scene. Ideally you should be consistent so that you aren't contradicting the narrative of the moment.
