This Book is awesome for people on the movie or filmmaking business， or if you want to start！ It gives you some rules and how to make things make sense for the spectator。

I didn't love this as much as some others。 It's admittedly very good， but I simultaneously found it too brief yet filled with stuff that felt like filler。 I guess that's on me because I was expecting this to be more technical and turned out to be a little more philosophical。On the other hand， this book is both short and an incredibly quick read， which I liked。 And to the book's credit， I can't imagine any editor or prospective editor reading this book without getting at least *something* out of I didn't love this as much as some others。 It's admittedly very good， but I simultaneously found it too brief yet filled with stuff that felt like filler。 I guess that's on me because I was expecting this to be more technical and turned out to be a little more philosophical。On the other hand， this book is both short and an incredibly quick read， which I liked。 And to the book's credit， I can't imagine any editor or prospective editor reading this book without getting at least *something* out of it。So still a worthwhile read for anyone looking to improve their editing。 For me， the better book has definitely been The Editor's Toolkit by Chris Wadsworth。 。。。more

What works so well about this book is that it never attempts to present itself as definitive。。。 which ironically makes it the definitive book on editing。It's structure dedicates a page to every major editing concept， with a picture example of each。 It intentionally does NOT present context to this technique。 It presents the technique， with no conjecture of the right or wrong context to use them。 This vagueness is what makes the book such a valuable asset to passionate filmmakers。 By being so vag What works so well about this book is that it never attempts to present itself as definitive。。。 which ironically makes it the definitive book on editing。It's structure dedicates a page to every major editing concept， with a picture example of each。 It intentionally does NOT present context to this technique。 It presents the technique， with no conjecture of the right or wrong context to use them。 This vagueness is what makes the book such a valuable asset to passionate filmmakers。 By being so vague， the reader is forced to think creatively to understand the techniques; the generalized， undetailed nature of each one forces the viewer to come up with why they might want to use that technique or not use that technique。 Thus the creative use of the technical takes more precedent in this volume than technical objectivism， stimulating the reader to be creatively active rather than a passive observer。 。。。more

Good guidelines/tips for Film Editors and Cinematographers。 Each page a nugget of useful to study and learn from。

Well written with an easy-to-follow layout。Simple and consice to understand， and that really is the main principle the author was trying to achieve with this book。 Some concepts may seem oddly similar at times， but they are in reality complementary to previously mentioned ones。Would highly recommend for anyone that wants to have a book around that summarizes alot of the editing concepts applied to many movies throughout the years （and with solid references as well！）

I love the pace of this book because you can read a concept or two， then put the book down to ponder and think deeper about that specific concept。 I would say that the editing concepts discussed in the book range from beginner to advanced， so it's either a good book for review， or a good book to learn new ideas。 I love the pace of this book because you can read a concept or two， then put the book down to ponder and think deeper about that specific concept。 I would say that the editing concepts discussed in the book range from beginner to advanced， so it's either a good book for review， or a good book to learn new ideas。 。。。more
