Day 150: On Editing

Editing is the final stage of producing a movie. 

Today I had my first taste of it. 

We were there for about 8 hours. It was exhausting. It was exciting.

But before today, I underestimated the importance of the process of editing, and indirectly the role of the editor. 

The editor is responsible for stitching it all together. It's the editor that makes sense of the raw footage and sculpts something beautiful. 

The writer creates something from zero to one. The producer funds it. The director brings it to life. The editor makes it make sense.
