Scene Selection in Film Editing - Episode 2
In this episode I take a first look a new scene and start with the selecting process. For me 90% of editing is selecting: The actual process of evaluating the footage in terms of emotion, performance and story. I build select reels with different video layers to visually indicate which moments I consider to be "gold", "good" or "it just happened". This way, as I start cutting a scene, I can quickly see where the strong points are in the footage. "Flesh & Blood" is a new feature directed by Mark Webber, currently filming in Philadelphia. Watch the actual editing of this feature film one episode at a time. Film editor Sven Pape is an A.C.E. Award Nominee and edited for James Cameron, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, James Franco among other directors. Editing Software: DaVinci Resolve
