The Science of Editing: Is Good Editing Just Instinct?

submitted by AudienceMagnet on 09/18/16 1

Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino & George Lucas say the editor writes the last draft of the script. So why not bring in the editor sooner, while you are still writing the script? "Editor's Thinking" is a cognitive skill set you can use to improve your screenplay before you start principal photography of your film. Onscreen Drafting is the first chapter in our new series "The Science of Editing" by @ThisGuyEdits and Dr. Karen Pearlman, based on her book "Cutting Rhythms - Intuitive Film Editing": amzn.to/2cqkz5J Karen holds a Doctorate of Creative Arts and is currently a lecturer in Screen Production at Macquarie University. She is a former President of the Australian Screen Editors Guild and a three-time nominee for Best Editing at the Australian Screen Editors Guild Annual Awards. Karen is also a full member of the Society for Cognitive Studies of the Moving Image and the Film Critics Circle, Australia. The onscreen draft is the process of test shooting your story and getting the editor involved early to make it work visually and emotionally, taking advantage of her sense of movement and flow. --------------- Subscribe for weekly THIS GUY EDITS videos: www.youtube.com/user/svenpape Watch my Playlist with Quick Film Editing Tips: youtu.be/FxKkzb5gJEw?list=PLNEhn13QqMlY2wIkzX4tq4FDJrN0UUSee THIS GUY EDITS (TGE) is a youtube channel by film editor Sven Pape, an A.C.E. award nominee, whose credits include work for directors James Cameron, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and James Franco.
