of the dynamics of the craft of editing showing clips from a selection
of films such as BOnnIE AnD CLyDE to draw attention to a multitude of
details from the sound and edit to the background of a film. She will
discuss different approaches to the work of an editor and elaborate on
the importance of experimentation, for example, by illustrating how a
film can function quite well despite flaws in the wardrobe or the angle
of the camera. She will guide you on how to “kill your darlings“ in the
editing process without losing your collaborators in the montage
stage of filmmaking, and explain how an editor can work with an
overwhelming amount of excess footage, and yet succeed in extracting
the best material which is carefully woven into the film, every
decision shaping the tone and pace of the film.
