Book Reviews of The Technique of Film and Video Editing, Fourth Edition: History, Theory, and Practice
Book Review: Dry as A Bone
Summary: 2 Stars
The Technique of Film and Video doesn't really know what it wants to be.
It over emphasis on editing history and early theory would simply overwhelm first time editing students and outright bore those familiar with the craft.
As a film student, I know the importance of film editing, but this entry fails to generate any interest for the technique and the practical implications for film editing.
It's been said not to judge a book by its cover, and this one is no different. A screen capture of "Brokeback Mountain" does nothing to offset the heavy emphasis on film pre-1960.
Just my two cents.
Summary of The Technique of Film and Video Editing, Fourth Edition: History, Theory, and Practice
The Technique of Film & Video Editing provides a detailed, precise look at the artistic and aesthetic principles and practices of editing for both picture and sound. Analyses of photographs from dozens of classic and contemporary films and videos provide a sound basis for the professional filmmaker and student editor. This book puts into context the storytelling choices an editor will have to make against a background of theory, history, and practice. This new edition has been updated to include the latest advances in digital video and nonlinear editing and explores the new trend of documentary as mainstream entertainment, using films such as "Farenheit 9/11" and "The Fog of War" as examples.* Learn how to strengthen your story and engage your audience through the editing process
* Examples, analysis, and film stills from great movies
* Includes a new chapter on the impact of documentaries
