Editing in Whiplash’s final scene

In this scene the editing is cleverly used to show the key characters placements within the scene. For example when the drummer is doing his solo performance, instead of cutting to him and the instructor the camera moves from from the instruct when he motions and then to the drummer when he if preforming the instruction. This creates a sense of fluidity in the drumming and action shown. A creates tension in the audience through the brief second of anticipation if the drummer will be able to play that instruction.
