Editors are responsible for the very essence of filmmaking, they take the raw material from the days shoots and convert it into a watchable film with a beginning, middle and end and understandable sequence of events. Editors have a vital role to play because the editing of film is the only art that is unique to cinema and which seperates filmmaking from all other art forms such as photography, theater, dance, writing and directing. Editors practice what is known as the "invisible art" in that they are very often not considered by the viewing public however if editors perform their job well it should be seamless and an audience should be so engaged that they do in fact forget to notice the edit.
Because almost every motion picture, television show, and TV
commercial is shot with one camera per take, every single shot is
separated from every other single shot by time and space and it is the role of the editors to turn this into a coherent film. On its most
fundamental level, the job of the editors is the art, technique, and practice of
assembling these shots into a whole. However, the job of an
editors isn’t merely to mechanically put pieces of a film together, nor
is it to just cut off the film slates, nor is it merely to edit
dialogue scenes. Film editors work with the layers of images, the
story, the music, the rhythm, the pace, shapes the actors'
performances, "re-directing" and often re-writing the film during the
editing process, honing the infinite possibilities of the juxtaposition
of small snippets of film into a creative, coherent, cohesive whole.
