The Science Behind Film Editing
Posted in: Animation
Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino & George Lucas say the editor writes the last draft of the script. So why not bring in the editor sooner, while you are still writing the script?
“Editor’s Thinking” is a cognitive skill set you can use to improve your screenplay before filming.
In the first chapter we discuss the concept of Onscreen Drafting, the process of making the script work visually and emotionally, taking advantage of the editor’s expertise of movement and flow.
