Intercut! Montage! The illusion of continuity! All hallmarks of the edit – the point in a film’s production where a film comes together and becomes greater than the sum of its shots. SUBSCRIBE: http://goo.gl/9AGRm
Kuleshov said that film is born in the edit. And you gotta take him seriously, because he used the magic of editing to convince an audience that a blank-faced man was hungry/sad/lustful.
Later, montage showed audiences how to get in shape and learn to dance in under 2 minutes! (Of screen time). And that’s the magic of film editing – understanding that comes from what isn’t shown.
In less than 7 minutes (and plenty of cuts), we’ll show you just how important editing is to the creation of film: from the first stop trick to today.
