Ken Dancyger, Professor of Film and Television, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University and the author of numerous books on screenwriting, editing and production.
Description
The Technique of Film & Video Editing provides a detailed, precise look at the artistic and aesthetic principles and practices of editing
for both picture and sound. Analyses of photographs from dozens of classic and contemporary films and videos provide a sound basis for
the professional filmmaker and student editor. This book puts into context the storytelling choices an editor will have to make against
a background of theory, history, and practice. This new edition has been updated to include the latest advances in digital video and
nonlinear editing and explores the new trend of documentary as mainstream entertainment, using films such as "Farenheit 9/11" and "The
Fog of War" as examples.
