Résumé

The third edition of The Technique of Film & Video Editing continues to offer aspiring directors a detailed, precise look at the artistic and aesthetic principles and practices of editing for both picture and sound.
A comprehensive history of editing is accomplished through analyses of photographs from dozens of classic and contemporary films and videos. Covering cutting edge topics such as the influence of new technology on the art of editing, MTV style, psychoanalytic ideas, and the appropriation of style over content, the latest edition takes these discussions further by highlighting the "stylistic extremes" brought about by the clash of imitative style and innovative filmmaking. It also continues the examination of MTV style via a study of the full spectrum of its uses in recent years, and it explores the editing characteristics of nonlinear storytelling as evidenced in such recent films as The Ice Storm and The Thin Red Line. New trends in documentary and how they affect editing are also covered in detail. Practical skills are grounded by an exposition of the ideas and styles of editing through which the director can understand the visual tools at his or her disposal.
Putting into context the storytelling choices an editor will have to make against a background of theory, history, and practice, this important text provides the professional filmmaker and student editor a solid background in the theory and practice of successfully editing for film and video.
