Reader comments
As the book says, editing is not only a technique, but also an art. I remembered my previous experience in making videos for my family. If I had read this book earlier, I would have been able to make the videos more expressive. The case studies in the book are also very practical, especially the use of music, which is very inspiring to me. Recommended to friends who are interested in film and television editing!
This book analyzes the essence of editing from the basics, which is that editing is not splicing. It involves thinking, entering the frame, flexibility, and linearity, followed by shooting methods, dubbing, picture-in-picture, transitions, audio, and narrative.
