Synopsis

"First Cut" banishes forever the idea that a film editor simply "cuts out the bad stuff". Garbriella Oldham offers a series of interviews with 23 award-winning film editors who provide a full picture of the complex art and craft of editing a film. Filled with animated anecdotes and detailed examples, this book covers both documentary and fiction film editing. To edit is not merely to cut. Behind every cut are numerous considerations - rhythm, musicality, intuition, emotion, psychology, art, point of view, dialogue - that must be taken into account to give a film the seamless finish we see in the theatre. These interviews explore the way in which each editor approaches his or her craft; particular sequences are described, as are the issues that lead to editorial decisions.
