The course begins by looking at the editor as filmmaker, and compares the work of today's film editor to that of other editors in film history. After tracing the evolution of major developments in editing technique and style, students proceed to study the actual work of film editing through all the basic stages of craft: looking at rushes, selecting shots, cutting, creating the structure, finding the rhythm, working with sound, analyzing rules and conventions and how and when to break them. In the course of the semester students will have the opportunity to edit their own pieces, producing work that will be critiqued in class.
