In a genre that is action/drama they will have a variety of shots and cuts in short amount of time to create pace. It is important for the style of shots to relate to the genre otherwise a different message could be given off to the audience.
In a drama, an editor could use a wide shot to start a scene to show the distance between characters, However when the drama climaxes an the editor might choose to shorten the shots to show the emotion from the characters. The closer the shots the more emotion will be seen.
An example of an editor going from a medium shot to a close up would be the video below:
In this video notice when the editor switches to the extreme close-up shot, you can vividly see the characters facial expression. In a drama this would be extremely engaging for the audience to witness because the emotion can be portrayed through facial expression.
All in all, keeping the shots in relation to the genre is very important because the scenes need to be enhanced to the right emotion.
