Introduction

I will be working with Max Rogan on this blog. Our blog is going to be about the purposes, principles and history of film editing. Editing a film or video is a very important part of audio-visual production. When editing a film or video it has to be done without getting rid of, adding more or changing the source material. The film and video will have to be shot in the right sequence and without any mistakes being made. Also when editing, creative decisions will have to be made in the source material all the way through to the finished product, as it provides opportunities in the creativity of the filming stage. While doing the research on this blog, we will look into the 'language' of editing and the techniques used by different editors.
