Editing In Film (Part 1)

  • What is editing in film? 
  • Why is editing significant to film-making?
  • Who is responsible for editing?

The art and craft of trimming and putting together during the post-production of a film is known as film editing. It requires making a number of technical and artistic choices, including assembling the material in a purposeful order and adding transitions. Film editing is sometimes described as "invisible art." A poor performance, scene, story, or film can be saved by effective editing. Editing is important because it has the ability to mentally and emotionally influence the audience. The film editor aids in bringing the director's vision to reality.
