This book traces the history and current practice in film and television arguing that a solid base of knowledge of the craft of the skill is essential for the proper application of the new techniques. Based on the highly acclaimed and well-used first edition published by Thames and Hudson a decade and a half ago, this second edition has been thoroughly updated, revised and extended. The aesthetics and techniques of editing are examined in depth and illustrated with numerous examples from past and present films and individual editors' work. Of relevance to the directors, camera and sound people as well as editors and aspiring editors, it will provide an invaluable reference tool to all students of film and video.
