The Rule of Six

 Summarize each of the six when to make a cut.  Why do you think cutting on emotion and story is so much more important than the other four? 

    Editing on emotion values how you want the audience to feel with the edit. Editing for the story values context and if the edit you are making help move the story forward or make sense for the story. Editing on rhythm is the beat of the way your edit moves and if you can watch the edit with no sound and you can follow the beats and rhythm of the edit. Editing for eye trace takes into account where the audiences focus will fall, so you want to make sure when you edit you are placing focus on where you want the viewers attention to go. 2D space plane editing is the XY axis of your focus points as well as keeping with the 180 degree rule. 3D space editing follows the 180 degree rule while also ensuring the depth of field and space with your shots. Emotion and story are the most important rules because it's what keeps the viewers engaged, the normal viewer isn't keeping track of the rhythm more than the story and emotion they are focused on the feeling of the edit and the story that carries the edit through.
