Conversation vs. Action

Action sequences are scenes where there is no dialog. Conversations are scenes ) where the actors continually talk back and forth.

Golden Rule: When two or more people are talking back and forth, you have a "conversation". The rest of the time, the scene is considered "action."

Editing Action means Look for the best images Action sequences are edited based on the images on the screen. For action sequences, the picture is the most important thing. Because there is no dialog to worry about, you tell the story visually.
