Long description
Nonlinear, or digial, editing, permits editors to move bites around and place them anywhere in the sequence of the film with much greater ease than was ever possible with film footage. Many professional-level editors learned their trade in the linear film world and need to learn how to adapt their aesthetic skills to this new mode of editing. Additionally, while many amateurs and digital filmmakers are skilled in shooting video, they need to refine their editing skills to ensure the quality of the finished production. The art of editing in a nonlinear mode cannot be gleaned from software application manuals. This book is designed to convey the artistic considerations and techniques that both new and experienced editors need to employ in editing digital stock. Readers learn the importance of timing, emotion, and art in assembling a cohesive project that tells a story with the appropriate flow and pace. Each chapter features interviews with professionals and exercises relevant to the subject matter under discussion.
