Editing
The cut, the moment when one idea has been conveyed and you move to the next. Decisions, pacing–fast or slow, cut or dissolve… these are all considerations on the way to telling your story.
Fade in… music, sound effects, 3 hours of footage to be cut down to 3 minutes or 30 seconds. cut, dissolve fade to black.
Like writing a great story or giving a great presentation … distilling the material down to it's core quality represents editing.
