Film Editing - page 9
|

Making movies is telling a story in its simplest form. Film is simply telling a story. Simplicity is key. And I think that probably is the best advice for any editor. Just simplify one story to create pure life and emotion. In fact, editing is a lot like writing. You are rewriting a film. You have a script but you're rewriting a script with a film. It's not like editing in publishing. It is not a matter of omitting and corrections. It's very different. I think. You become a writer, but you're writing with images, you're writing with music, you're writing with performances, you're writing with all these things-intangible things as well- that make an emotional event. (Carol Littleton)
Editing is just another part of making a film. This years hit is next years memory. Very few films become classics and they were usually too unique to be "popular" at the time they were released. "I feel I exert a certain influence on it. I don't control it. I just influence it. I hope that I could work in a climate of trust where the director feels he would be able to use my ideas, my feelings about the material, the criticisms, the praise, all for the good of the movie. Our job is to interpret and respect the material at hand. Certainly respect the style, performances, composition, writing, lighting, every aspect. We are a very respectful lot."
