Film and Video Editing / Edition 1

by Roger Crittenden

Overview

This book traces the history and current practice in film and television arguing that a solid base of knowledge of the craft of the skill is essential for the proper application of the new techniques.

The aesthetics and techniques of editing are examined in depth and illustrated with numerous examples from past and present films and individual editors' work.
