Invisible Boy Editing

When you're watching a movie, you can usually tell what the editing quality is. If it's good, you can barely tell that there's any editing there at all. When it's bad, you can clearly tell, perhaps to the point of annoyance. Bad editing takes the viewers' focus away from what is really important. Good editing however, lets the viewer take in the scenes playing before them uninterrupted. It allows the people to take in all the emotion of the scene without any distraction. It sucks you in and takes you along for a ride without you even realizing it until the ride is over. Good editing is an art and takes years of practice to master.


I think that the article was a little repetitive. It basically said the same thing over and over, but in different ways. Though I suppose that the message was still valuable. I learned that the best type of editing is the kind that you can't see. I agree with what the article said. What types of editing techniques are commonly used by professional editors to make their films look great? Filmmakers should all try to pay close attention to their editing and they should always look to improve.
