What are the rules of governing the organization of shots called collectively

Solution:

Rythmic editing is when the relations between shots function to control film pace. Characteristics: a shot's physical length corresponds to a measurable duration of rythmic function occurs when several shot lengths form a discernable pattern. Equal length will create a steady metrical beat.

It is a sequences where shots are the same length have no rhythm. In a sequence, rhythm requires that the length of shots should vary. But rhythm is also perceived intuitively. Viewers know when a film lacks rhythm because they can sense the abrupt transitions or when the audio pops, even when the composition lacks balance or even when the image was shot without proper white balance. Since editing should appear seamless (going largely unnoticed by the audience) such bad edits or bad shots will draw unnecessary attention to the production efforts. Viewers should be immersed in the story, caught up in the characters, not be reminded at every turn of the camera's presence or the lack of polish in the editing. Intuition may be the only way to judge rhythm, but some practical considerations need to be made such as choosing the best shots and the smoothing out the edits.  

This is the required solution.
