Editing is like cycling the world. You have an idea but as soon you start editing (cycling) you move into spaces you even did not imagine before. And let it happen and dance with the new plan is esencial. Be flexible is the key. Thanks for another master piece.

Honestly? She makes a lot of interesting and insightful comments about the process, but... your choice of visuals are astounding! You took what was a thought provoking, but maybe dry dialogue about how the process and material shapes the editor as much as the editor shapes the material, and you took it to a place far beyond the clips and audio you used. Just like how the quiet sections in some music add a level of depth that isn't actually there, your editing of this video not just amplified the dialogue, it created an atmosphere where one is compelled to think about what is being said and to fully absorb the meaning behind it. It may not be your best work, but it's the best of your work I have seen! Once again, thank you!

Hi Sven, I'm Pato, a Mexican film editor in my 40's. I've been editing for 30 years since my dad brought a VHS and a Betamax home in a small northern little town in Sonora. I revisit your videos every now and then, especially the Science Of Editing series; great job BTW. Being now also a writer, I'm convinced I would add a category to this list, which is: LISTEN, and it would be right before COMPOSING. Every time I need to feel what the material wants to tell me, very frequently I rely on music and the remembering of the material playing both over and over. It could be part of number 5, COMPOSE, but I just wanted to share this important tool, for me anyways. All the best wishes directly from Mexico City. Thanks for inspiring us with your channel and the wonderful work in it.

She is not really talking about the science of editing, she is talking about the process. This is the generally accepted approach most editors take because it makes the most sense. You have to view, sort, assess, and select the material before you compose it. For me the science of editing encompasses the psychological effect of manipulating different combinations of moving images and sounds to elicit different emotional responses.

I am a filmmaker who often writes, directs and edits the projects I work on. When it comes to editing. I think of it as rewriting a story, using only the words within the book. I can't write new words, but I can cut words, make new sentences out of old ones and change the order of the chapters. It's the same story, rewritten for the last time.

Ashley Love, Editor in Chief of T2PTV, a small production company in Annapolis, MD. I'm a videographer and an editor and I do find myself starting to select and remember while I'm filming. It's all candid stuff we're filming, mostly, so it's wild to do the "watching" while it's actually happening. The part about having feelings over and over again makes a lot of sense too. I have some projects that I've watched the final product, literally, dozens of times and I STILL get emotional at the same parts. The last thing I wanted to throw in this mix was about watching and having a feeling. I repeat that process many times throughout the steps. If I'm an audience to someone else's work, I'm thinking to myself, "this is what should happen next" or "It would feel right to end that scene riiiiight... NOW." When the other "composer" does it like I would have in my head, I think it's a fantastic piece of art. I do the same thing to myself when I'm editing. The building blocks we play with are like 3 dimensional Tetris pieces, we don't necessarily get to control what shape they have. So when I'm composing with a soundtrack or with a pace in mind, it does build and build and use the expectation, the what feels like it ought to come next and look and search for that piece and let it build and build. One more thing, I completely agree that you have to be patient. Some of the best projects I've turned over was when the whole system crashed and I had to start from the middle and build it back again. It's always MUCH better the second time around!

I love your philosophical and mental approach to editing. it's not about the technical. these insights have helped me to become a better storyteller and overcome some serious blocks while editing. I would add that response or interaction is something that I find so crucial to editing. it's touched upon in this video thought not explicitly listed. Editing is an interaction, a response to the material as much as it is a composition. Thanks for these great insights.

Great video - thanks for sharing! The patience aspect of editing is huge, and I'm glad it was mentioned because I don't think many people fully appreciate how much time goes into crafting something beautiful from a mountain of footage. Coming from a corporate video production background with lots of short turnarounds and tight deadlines, I came to rely heavily on string-outs of the content that resonated most with me, and then jumping straight into the edit from there, so I could afford to spend more time in the composing phase :)

This is so accurate. Reminds me of "being in the flow state"...but from an editor's perspective. Like how the energy flows through (with you as an instrument) to communicate and/or inspire certain emotions. A type of aesthetic form of expression. Requires trial and error I must agree but with artistic or creative endeavours, one must be willing to be wrong in order for true creativity to come through. This video is grrrreat!

Outstanding. I've never thought about this before, and I'm just getting started, so I can't comment on whether this is all of it or not, but it feels right. For me personally, I have been trying to put together a simple little "home movie" and every time I get a basic assembly of it it seems to "take on a life of it's own" and I completely change it. I resisted this at first, thinking I was unsure of my ability to do it and just unwilling to commit to something. After watching this I think it is just a natural part of the process. I have 10 hours or so of footage I can use to make a less than 5 minute home movie. I really haven't done the sorting process very well, and I think that it inhibiting my progress. Very timely video for me. :)

Editing is so much about the moment to moment as well as the bigger picture. Attention, memory, feeling and time. But often directors watch the material for small details, continuity and shot composition that they overlook emotional impact, where the audience will pay attention and for how long, and momentum.
@edgyguy5553
@edgyguy5553 8 жыл бұрын
I'm surprised that you are surprised when a director is open to something you've taken in a direction different than what you had talked about. This is the heart of the creative process, that the work itself has a mind of it's own, and a director is as sensitive to that as an editor. On the set, or in rehearsal, or working with the writer (or cinematographer, composer, set decorator, etc), a director runs into that experience over and over again. A good director actually looks for those moments. In fact, directors are secretly disappointed when something goes strictly to plan. Yes, it's functional and that is often enough, but there's always that hope that something more will come from each moment during the actual act of creation. It's that old phrase, "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." If it offers more insight to think about the editor as a composer, then it is also useful to think about a director as a conductor, blending the efforts of so many disparate elements over time into a harmonious experience that can touch an audience on different levels.

Lovely piece, great quotes. I find now I only work on my own material I go in to the edit knowing what the film is supposed be, but I don't even pretend to try to honour some kind of script line by line edit or project my will onto the film. I go in looking to discover because once you're in the edit the footage has a way of telling you how it wants to work. If you don't listen to that it falls apart so quickly. It's very strange and very exciting because it feels like you're dealing with something as complex and wilful as another being.

Hey Sven and Karen, thanks for that wonderful deconstruction of our craft! Finally someone who declares "watching" a skill. yeah! I wonder if the last point "composing" should be broken up in two stages, maybe "creating and composing". Because we sometimes "imagine what's not yet there", eg. by adding sound in the background (doorbell), suggest additional shots (Estabs etc.) or rewrite dialogue for ADR. In your exmaple with the letters: If I quickly write "R" on the backside of the "G" and duplicate the "O", I could have the "DOOR" I'm so desperately in need of.

Mainly the way I edit - even on personal projects I tend to have a client (my wife). The changes in my approach is to put aside what feels like a final edit for a day or two and then come to it fresh and look more deeply at ways to improve pacing, being more critical of shot selection, and the choice and use of music. And in this episode you have emphasised spending more time in the early selection stage, looking at each shot or take on its own merits, before committing to an overall structure - which is further food for thought. My work is mainly corporate - by the way. Patience has helped me produce some pieces which may be modest by some standards but can be very satisfying nonetheless. All the best Sven, you are providing us all with a great teaching resource - it is very much appreciated.

I'm in love with video editing, i hope that in future that will be my job.. and seriously, your videos, inspires me a lot. I've never watched something that explain this world like you do. Never.

I think a good editor starts making connections once they read the script and have that first conversation with the director. If the script connects with you somehow or the director's pitch and detective work makes sense on a different level then you go into the editing process already looking for that. The editing process is like exploring a pyramid or a tomb, you're looking for these treasures that the director and the script calls for. Sometimes, you don't find them, and other times you find completely new treasures that you would have never discovered if you didn't go down that tunnel or take that wrong step. Eventually, you have to leave the tomb, you only have so much time and resources, a good editor comes out with all the treasures, a great editor finds even more treasures that tell a wonderful story.

The scrabble analogy is good, but when people ask me what I do or what my process is I describe it as jigsaw puzzle. It never comes out how looks on the box (the directors intent) and a lot of the time your trying to squeeze the right pieces together. Sometimes they fit in perfectly like they were made for each other but sometimes you really gotta jam them in and deal with the rough edges.

Very interesting approach to editing. Hubbard described the mind as the collection of memories. Nothing more. The being (what he called “thought”) looks at the pictures (the mind).

The bit about movies being smarter than the people making them is really profound. For one, there's the editing process which is touched on here. An editor can cut the footage an infinite number of different ways and, being removed from the on set process, see things the director can't or didn't. Second, I think movies can be compared to religion. Disregarding the quality of the movie, while there may be a central theme and message of a movie that most people agree upon, everyone filters what they see through their life experiences and react and relate to different parts in different ways. It really is a marvelous thing.

Now that's how you romanticize editing. Totally looking for editing jobs atm, and I'm surprised at how unperturbed I am at losing hours to Premiere editing various pieces. Almost every other second I have I'm very conscious of what I spend my time on, trying to be as constructive as possible. But not when editing. I really get into it and enjoy 'giving birth' to something out of... individual strands. Thinking about my own processes, it was pretty much all discussed in the steps mentioned in the video. Great stuff.

Great points! It is never a good idea to get to invested to one way of editing your film because you may run into roadblocks and need to readjust how you edit the video. But would say that if an editor who is also the one filming the action has the perfect vision in their mind on how it flows together would be part of point number 3 of remembering what you were going to compose? I have had that a few times and on occasion it will either be just as good or better than what I expected and sometimes not work at all forcing me to go back to selecting.

Doublepulse (DP Productions) I think a director that edits his projects has to be careful with unconscious bias. Sometimes there's scenes with emotional relevance to the director but ineffective when building a visual story to tell an audience. That kind of dialogue with an editor can be very useful. IMHO :)
