ABSTRACT
Editing also helps the audience interprets and understands a scene. Imagine a scene of five people talking. Director Martin Scorsese put it like this: “It’s the editor who orchestrates the rhythm of the images, and that is the rhythm of the dialogue, and of course the rhythm of the music. The editor considers all the visual and audio material collected on the shoot for each scene and then re-orders it in the way to tell the story best. Editing on a large project usually commences as soon as the film starts shooting. The first cut is the rough cut that is accepted by the editor, the director and the producer. Selection and sequence are basically fixed, although changes can be made. When the editor, director and producer agree on a fine cut, the sound designer, music composer and title designer come in to do their work. In the rough cut, the scenes are placed in order, and checked for continuity.
