What is Film Editing?

 Film editing is made up of many characteristics that make a movie. It consists of scene transitions, voice overs, special effects, different background settings, and sound effects. This is only some out of the many effects that create a film. Film editing is made by a film editor, what film editor does is review material like scripts, shot lists, sketches, and discussion with the film director. They also sort pre-editing footage to select footage for post-production, montage cuts, and rough cuts. To add on, film editors synchronize uncut videos with audio as well as work with other editors to produce soundtracks. Film editing takes a whole process to go through in order to create the film. The process includes three different stages of video production, there are pre-production, production and post-production. From there, each of these phases can be divided into many smaller sections. For post-production the steps include the assembly stage, processing level, color correction, sound editing, and export phase. Everyone is different as for every film editing project is unique so those stages are just general pieces that make up the film editing process.
