Editors are in charge of one of the most important and under-appreciated aspects of filmmaking: choosing not only what shots to leave in, but what to leave out – and where to put it. We will take a look at what it takes to make a good story and how to achieve drama in boring subjects. Discover how editing can totally change the meaning and story of a film. We will look at examples and find some surprises.
