About this book
There are many books on the technical aspects of film and video editing. Much rarer are books on how editors think and make creative decisions. Filled with timeless principles and thought-provoking examples from a variety of international films, the third edition of Karen Pearlman's Cutting Rhythms offers an in-depth study of the film editor's rhythmic creativity and expertise, the processes and tools editors use to shape rhythms, and how rhythm works to engage audiences in film. Cutting Rhythms is written for editors, filmmakers, and students who are learning their craft, and more experienced practitioners who enjoy engaging with ideas about creative process.
This fully revised and updated edition contains:
- A comprehensive definition of what rhythm in film editing is made from, how it is shaped, and what it is for
- Updated discussions about editors' creative expertise and how to develop it
- Tips on how to create and sustain audience empathy and engagement
- Insights into style and creative collaboration
- Advice on making onscreen drafts before finalizing your story
- New, international examples of fiction, documentary, streaming series, music video & more
