fun fact a huge reason why editing, despite being one of the most important jobs in filmmaking next to writing, directing, and cinematography, is largely ignored and unrecognized is because it was seen as women’s work for a long time. people learn about kubrick and hitchcock and spielberg and scorsese, but do you know thelma schoonmaker, who was scorsese’s editor for over 50 years?

the term “film editor” was first used to describe margaret booth, who worked in the film industry between 1915 and 1987. because of the low value of the position and her ultimate high level position at MGM, it’s estimated that there’s hundreds of films out there she worked on uncredited. she shaped the craft.

jaws was going to be a terrible movie until spielberg’s editor, verna fields, showed him what it could feel like if they avoided showing the shark itself and instead focused on reactions and POVs. she had her own editing lab at home, which if you don’t know what editing labs looked like before digital editing, was insane. she pioneered the fucking natural wipe transition that’s used in pretty much every movie today. she tutored george and marcia lucas! also her nickname was the “mother cutter” which is just badass

marcia lucas, by the way, was george lucas’s story and film editor. it’s pretty well known by now that most of the parts that made star wars strong came from her. the problem with attribution between them eventually led to their divorce, as george lucas kept getting credit for her ideas and skill.

when people think of filmmakers, they think of writers and directors and actors, but there are three phases to making a movie: pre-production, production, and post production, and by and large the reason post production is forgotten i because it was a women’s job for a long time—made easier because they could put the women in a dark room where they didn’t have to see them. but without editors movies would just be a bunch of separate, out of order video and audio clips in a huge folder. in the same way you can’t have a movie without a script or actors or a camera, you cannot have a movie without editors. and they should not be forgotten to time in favor of the male auteurs who took or received most of the credit

#saw a gifset of eeaao and remembered how fucking good the editing in that movie was #and that it deserved that goddamn oscar so much #and also how no one talked about it winning that. #film #film editing #cricket chirps #history #film history

Director Ari Aster, really knows how to get inside the audience head, with camera tricks, powerful soundtrack, stellar performances and most of all engaging transitions. In the film Beau is Afraid, he plays with match cuts to illustrate the pass of time, but in a dramatic way, invisible cuts and digital alteration of space and time.

Editor Lucian Johnston plays along with director Aster, in order to deliver a hard to watch film.

Hey guess who was cleaning out their files and found stuff from their film editing course?

This was the last of a three-part final where we had to take scenes from existing movies and recut them into short format videos, in this case into a theatrical trailer. When I saw Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield were on the list of available films my found-footage-loving heart couldn’t resist.

#personal work #film editing #the blair witch project #cloverfield #I had fun with this one #my professor didn't like the abruptness of the switch and I agree with him #but I didn't have anything that would work for a good transition that wouldn't exceed the run time limit #also yes I know the text goes by a little fast in some places but the video had to be exactly 2 minutes 30 seconds and they were expendable #in case it isn't clear the implication is that the entity started small enough that it was hunting mice and other critters #then it started feeding off human fear and it grew larger and larger until it reached the city #where having so many people be afraid of it made it huge enough to take out whole buildings

"There were some people who really resented me for starting this band. 'How dare you fucking start another band.' They asked me like, 'Why did you carry on and make music that sounds like Nirvana?' And I said, well, wait a minute, what do you mean? Like loud rock guitars, and melodies, and cymbals crashing, and big ass drums? 'Cause that's what I do! That's...I mean that's..I was in that band...and this is..like that's what I do! What do you want me to make a fuckin' reggae record? The first couple years, I really felt like I had to explain and defend what I was doing. Because, first of all, you're just a drummer, and what, you're trying to sing? And, also you were in Nirvana, so what the fuck is this shit? So there's..you..just get to the point where you think, you know you think...fuck you people!" - Dave Grohl - Back And Forth - 2011.

I was at the one night only show. I saw the Live 3D performance. I still have videos somewhere that I took. I still have the 3D glasses.

Also, I took my time and edited this video myself, so if you want to reboot, just please tag my tumblr.

I went to film school so I'm a fantastic editor. Anyone who would like a nice video edited or one pasted together from other videos all into one? Shoot me a message or click "It's your dime, spill it" on my tumblr.

Anything within reason. No videos longer than 15 minutes.

“In magic, it is more interactive than most other forms. It’s very hard to do magic for yourself, very hard to do that. So, you need feedback. And the one thing you learn in magic, although the props change and although the methods change, you start to develop an intuition for what the audience will be thinking, what they will be paying attention to. But no matter how good your intuition gets, having other people give you feedback is really good.”

Magic, much like film editing, requires the audience to trust you even though, as in a magic trick, the magician/filmmaker is often an ‘unreliable narrator’ – telling us things are true and reliable when they are anything but. Much like Verbal Kint in The Usual Suspects who tells us that “The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.“ - Johnny Elwyn, Magic, Movies, and the Art of Film Editing

Editing in Death Proof

To get the “grindhouse” effect that Tarantino wanted he utilized many techniques. First he got the physical copy of the film and physically scratched it all over the place to give the film a grainy feeling. Then he, in grindhouse fashion, spliced scenes out of the film harshly and without warning. The decision to do these things added to the aesthetic of film and gave it a distinctive feel.

The film was edited by the masterful film editor Sally Menke.
