[@nacoran]

The Skillshare ad was worked in well, but the pop up youtube ads bothered me... it bothers me on other videos too, but on an editing video it's particularly jarring when an ad pops up in the middle of a sentence/thought. I know there is a way to control how many ads are on a video, but is there a way to control exactly where they pop up so you can space them more like you would TV commercials, where there is a natural pause?

[@ThisGuyEdits]

i hear you. unfortunately without the ads, youtube has very little incentive to recommend the video and views fizzle fast.

[@nacoran]

It's not that there are ads though, it's that they aren't placed well. Why can't they give you an exact point to add it, for instance, in this video, between points?

[@srikeshpillai]

Your videos makes me better and better every time, thank you, I surely get this book

[@MCDJEntertainment]

yeah it is true tho, i taught myself to edit from youtube when i was pretty young, this website is great for learning new skills and you'd be pretty surprised at how easy it is with a little research

[@arturodeleon6904]

Great video! Here's a breakdown of what I took from each lesson, 1. Know when NOT to cut. Be present and keep your ego in check. 2. Edit to what YOU want. The director will come later and make changes. 3. Trust the process, your changes will be addressed if the film requires. 4. Be a collaborator. 5. Editing is a process of REVISION. You'll need to go back and edit what you edit. 6. Organization = editing. Compartmentalize the smaller chunks. 7. How do you make it as an editor? JUST START EDITING. Cut what you can, as often as possible. 8. Ask yourself, how does your scene affect the overall story? Make adjustments to keep it cohesive. 9. Use reaction shots wisely. Usually it's more interesting to show who's listening rather than who's speaking. 10. Study the why during editing. Make choices intuitively but know the analytical reason why you cut it that way in the first place.

[@casperdewith]

Thanks for the summary.

[@shazigetssober2394]

Thanks, was just trying to go back for the 2nd and couldn't find the place in the vid.

[@cheesecakelasagna]

Thank you for your service.

[@alexispapageorgiou72]

I'd add another one just from that magnificent intro. Pay attention ... See how Ejiofor's feet dug a hole. (Maybe from reshooting and all ...) A man really trying to survive, would shovel dirt from the curvature of the hole he created back into the crator (This also intensifies the whole length of the rope detail. Just enough to stay alive, not enough to stay alive after digging a hole.). Now instead of majestic, which it is, it becomes a matter of life and death. Some might say this is stepping on the director's toes. I say it's a collaborative medium. You notice something. You talk. The director tells you to f off? You comply and you don't feel like betraying the art.

[@MadsterV]

I'd add that 9 was about how showing who is listening (the reaction) is commonly known to be better, but sometimes you have to break that rule and show the full line being delievered when it's important and you want it to stick.

[@andrewedgar3935]

The added vfx in Arrival to make the dream sequence work was genius! It’s such a mundane scene but then the addition of the alien makes it so trippy and surreal.

[@Selfsufficientme]

[@OpenMind3000]

Nice video. Damn that Mindhunter scene is brilliant

[@kristofermens]

On the other hand, I can't really imagine it wasn't in the script. You can't just pull off a twist like that in a story, the reactions are vital. No?

[@droughdough]

@@kristofermens It isn't uncommon for actors to get different pages. It's totally possible Holden's lines as written on the pages given to the local cops was a boilerplate interview. Of course, there's no way these were the first reaction shots, but planting that seed of authentic reactions to the unexpected becomes a tool for the actor(s) to return to in subsequent takes.

The mindhunter scene really made me understand the importance of reaction shots and their effects on emotion. Quality content.

[@117Awesome]

Reaction shots are a HUGE factor in almost every scene in Mindhunter. When interrogating or interviewing prospective and certain serial killers, seeing their subject's reaction tells you much about the man. The second season Bill Tench communicates with Holden almost entirely through his facial expressions. David Fincher really is an intelligent Director and his editor is incredible.

Yeah, it was a bit confusing. He said he interviewed a bunch of people so I assumed it was them? But they alternate between who's talking and come with small comments and then a skillshare ad? It honestly feels like this originally was a podcast that then got made into a video.

[@AssasinZorro]

I'm not an editor and I enjoy watching analytical videos that teach me storytelling. Those storytelling skills I'm then using for communication and games that I'm making.

[@ToastedSynapseGaming]

I think another important part for any person in this industry (including editors) is to always have an answer to the question of "WHY?". If somebody asks why did you cut there or why you shot like that, you shouldn't answer "because I felt that was needed", you should always have a clear (sometimes analytical answer) explaining WHY. Always be prepared to have answers to that question as you start your day and you'll do fine.

[@NostalgiNorden]

I completely disagree. If you listen to most of the greates editors(and artists) most of them go with their gut feeling. So much of art is impossible to put into words. Analytical answers are for the studio bosses to ruin movies and feel better about themselves. If we analysed ever cut alot of great classical cuts wouldn't have been made.

[@willy0297]

I am sure professionals do have their reasons as to why they do something (editing, getting certain shots, etc.). It's not uncommon for them to find it hard explaining the reasoning behind their own action. Also, remember that they are mostly learning by doing, trial and error, see what fits and what doesn't. It takes time to put everything they have learned into words that everyone, even the most clueless ones, can understand.

[@andinbriwel1092]

15:49 in this video

[@kendahkem5279]

@kshamwhizzle and generally speaking, you're not going to be sitting in the editor's seat without already first having built up a repertoire with the director to where they trust your judgement. If you're an assistant trying to bank on your "gut feeling" yeah, that's not going to wash. Trust me, directors can spot a good editor who understands rhythm and timing in where they choose to make their edit and they can spot a bs-er who doesn't know squat about shot composition and continuity.

[@raindropsneverfall]

I absolutely agree. It is an important aspect of-in my case-being a graphic designer. If you can explain why you've done something a certain way or speak your case, the client is more likely to see it from your side if your arguments are sound. Telling someone that you did something because you just felt like it is going to convince very few people.

[@SugarRayffs]

Im kinda new into editing and have watched TONS of tutorials on how editing works. I've learned a few technical tricks here and there. However, this video right here gave me a completely different depth and approach to how to actually get the storytelling, emotions and reactions on the audience side of the story. Thanks! Subscribed.

[@kendahkem5279]

either you're a storyteller or you aren't. That's the difference. Tutorials don't teach you discernment of video---that is learned through the doing of editing and studying under professionals.

[@krane15]

Maybe.

[@ChessBoxin]

13:30 - I think this one is possibly my favorite lesson from this. I've always thought of how quick you cut in a conversation contradicts the pacing but then I never thought of using lines on or off camera to create an emotion or give information. Love it.

I always enjoyed the editing process when I was in film class in school, more than filming and certainly more than writing. I had a transition between shots that I was really excited about, and when I showed my film to the class, the teacher complimented that transition while the film was playing. Probably my proudest moment in college. Well, getting a diploma was nice, too, I guess.

To be fair, that happens a lot when you don't do a master of your dialogue between scenes and, if you don't watch your settings, one small cut can overlap two different layers of audio and when you see it in the timeline you think " that wasn't like that" and you cut the audio without hearing it. Rest to say you always double check the final product.

I wrote, directed, and produced my first feature film. Everyone kept telling me to find an editor. I did it for months, but every editor I interviewed told me they could easily cut my movie into 90 minutes. I kept wondering, how do they know it will be 90 minutes? I was pleasantly surprised that the first lesson you discussed was the editor's ego.

[@shullfish]

They should have told you, "You and I will be able to get this to the perfect length for the story you're trying to tell..." 90 minutes is a great goal though for most films... :-)

Love videos like these. They help me speculate my philosophy on taking my self-educated states of stasis and give me new external ideas to exfoliate in ideology.

However, I've been learning and studying my craft in detail for about 8 years now and I'm consistently improving still to this day. It's rather nice to know that no matter how much you learn, you can always use your educated guesses to acquire different types of new. I love the process of using mediums cohesively in film because they allow for a synergy out of exponentiating art uniformly. I can add details from my life and add speculation to it while I'm immersed in the genius of ingenuity from multiple minds who specialize in perfecting their "one thing" to make one story told for real in reel form. It's the modern symphony to tell a movie in its tale told form.

Is the Boy in the striped pajamas only hard for you to watch when neo nazis are in the news? History has happened and it can be awful but modern day politics or culture can change the context of our history.

This is one of the best videos you ever made Sven...thank you very much. I´ll keep with this: you, practicing (learning and doing), are going to improve...and develop your talent on this...and start to make right choices more oftenly in your editing...developing your own method...choices and method wich you´re going to explain others when you suceed! 👊😄
