Shooting and editing are both crucial parts for a film. With shooting one has the ability to capture the images that express an idea. With editing one takes those ideas and puts them in a language the audience can understand. The editor takes shots and composes them into sentences. The way those sentences are constructed determine the overall poetry for the film.
I like editing, although at times it can be tedious, trying to get the image, sound, and music exactly the way you want them. In that way it’s like producing music. I’ve worked with music programs. And the detail that is needed to produce a seemless transition can be time consuming, but like it it has the potential to be very rewarding.
