What would you ask a superstar feature film editor?
Nog strictly FCP-related, but this seemed like the best place to ask this question 🙂
I have been given the opportunity to write a (long!) interview about the craft of editing with one of Europe’s top feature film editors! Talk about a learning experience!
The audience for the interview are filmmakers and students of filmmaking, so I really want to delve into the craft and ask a lot of practical questions, like
– when you start editing, do you stick to the script and the storyboard, or do you start interpreting right away?
– Do you cut to music or without sound? How does sound influence your cutting?
– What’s a scene you are particularly proud of and how did you cut it?
– Are there rules for editing certain types of scenes (i.e. comedy, dialogue, action) that you like to follow – or like to break? Examples?
– What kind of gear do you use?
– What have you learned about editing that they don’t tell you in filmschool?
Et cetera.
Now my question to all of you is: What would you ask a leading feature film editor?. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
I cannot yet say too much about the subject of this interview or the medium it will appear in, but questions used will of course be credited!
