| Abstract | "In On Film Editing, director Edward Dmytryk explains, in clear and engaging terms, the principles of film editing, using examples and anecdotes from almost five decades in the film industry, offering a masterclass in film and video editing. Written in an informal, 'how-to-do-it' style, Dmytryk shares his expertise and experience in film editing in a precise and philosophical way, contending that all parties on the film crew--from the camera assistant to the producer and director--must understand film editing to produce a truly polished work. Originally published in 1984, this reissue of Dmytryk's classic editing book includes a new critical introduction by Andrew Lund, as well as chapter lessons, discussion questions, exercises, and a glossary"-- Provided by publisher. |
