Academy Award-winning editor Walter Murch says: “Movies are much smarter than the people who make them”. The Science of Editing explores why a film will tell you what it wants to be.

  3. Encuentro de gran interés el tema de entender qué significa Episteme. Especialmente en su acepción moderna, la que habló Michael Foucault, distinta a la mencionada por Pearlman. Según Foucault la episteme aparece como el MARCO de SABER acorde a la determinada "verdad" impuesta desde un poder en cada época. Yo creo que dicho marco es poco visible y es interesante deconstruir como para que tengamos una mirada NUEVA y ESTIMULANTE como autores y como editores. English: "I find the topic of understanding what Episteme means very interesting. Especially in its modern meaning, the one Michael Foucault spoke about, different from the one mentioned by Pearlman. According to Foucault, the episteme appears as the FRAME of KNOWING according to the determined "truth" imposed from a power in each epoch. I believe that this framework is not very visible and it is interesting to deconstruct so that we have a NEW and STIMULATING look as authors and as editors."

  13. This video is fantastic. After wading through so many guys and dudes saying basically the same thing, this one took it to another level. I will rewatch to let all the points really sink in. I mean, it sort of completely altered what I think film “is”. And what a smooth and listenable conversation. Will check out the book with Karen’s chapter.

  18. You are welcome to use metaphors like the material "wanting" something and doing its own "thinking", but I strongly disapprove of calling this "literal", because "literal" use of language is literally the opposite of metaphorical use. "According to science", the material wants *nothing*. The world has no will of its own, particularly not if you quote science to support your statements. Good editing notwithstanding, please sort your language out. This is not helping.

  21. Great Channel. I made a feature. It was a low budget project, so i was the director/writher and of couse editor. I create a New film in cut process… Editing us much mire powerfull than people user tô think. Great tô know that we already have a Channel who understand what Editing os.

  22. This a case of overthinking. Just stop at, "it's intuitive." You have a pile of rough footage (most of which is crap) pick out the coolest stuff, fit it together, and, don't rush it. Ogres are like onions. That's all, Donkey – Bye-bye!

  24. That was the most cerebral & benificial definition of editing. Most people only tell the what and how. This explains the how and why, thus defining what the "what" should be! Bravo. Simply masterfully sensible.👊🔥

  25. I think a good editor starts making connections once they read the script and have that first conversation with the director. If the script connects with you somehow or the director's pitch and detective work makes sense on a different level then you go into the editing process already looking for that. The editing process is like exploring a pyramid or a tomb, you're looking for these treasures that the director and the script calls for. Sometimes, you don't find them, and other times you find completely new treasures that you would have never discovered if you didn't go down that tunnel or take that wrong step. Eventually, you have to leave the tomb, you only have so much time and resources, a good editor comes out with all the treasures, a great editor finds even more treasures that tell a wonderful story.

  30. This is what I've been saying! "Let the film edit itself". Leave the film alone! The editor should be a servant for the film to express it self as it truly is.

  32. This is so accurate. Reminds me of "being in the flow state"…but from an editor's perspective. Like how the energy flows through (with you as an instrument) to communicate and/or inspire certain emotions. A type of aesthetic form of expression. Requires trial and error I must agree but with artistic or creative endeavours, one must be willing to be wrong in order for true creativity to come through. This video is grrrreat!

  34. The subject is fascinating, the speakers too, and, oh my, am I the only one that finds the music disruptive? It makes it harder for me to follow the speakers.

  38. …and most importantly… Remember the "music" that was played in the background of this and picture a different composition of music and see if you would of felt the same impact as you did listening to this soundtrack…. lots of times, watch the film, find the music and let the 2 work in tandem. Music is vital to any film.

  39. It is super helpful to go back an rewatch these some times.

    I am glad your work is here.

    I am starting to film like for real this week

    I am in Quarantine [Not sick just stuck at home]

  40. I guess I must be getting smarter because the more I learn…the more I realize how little I know. 😉 Thank you for the (free!) master class.
