Film movie production: technical skills

This book, written by an industry expert, covers the duties of an assistant editor over the course of an entire feature film.

Throughout the book, the author provides key insights and advice from years of experience, which will help assistant editors hit the ground running, keep up the pace, and continue thinking critically and creatively. The easy-to-navigate structure loosely follows that of the typical job by identifying and outlining four key phases: Dailies, Director’s Cut, Screenings, and Finishing. Discussed therein are also passages that outline pre-production, the first day on the job, temp sound and VFX work, and turnovers as well as wrap and archiving.

Special features include detailed screenshots, advanced tips for interacting with Avid Media Composer (the industry standard for Non-Linear Digital Editing), editorial-specific use cases for automation using FileMaker Pro, and best practices regarding every aspect of the job.

This book is an intermediate resource for prospective and current assistant editors in the modern film and television editorial department.
