Not only will you learn everything you need to know about the editing process, you’ll gain the wisdom that normally only comes with on-the-job experience, putting you way ahead in your career and making you a better, more efficient editor.

Film Editing: The Art of the Expressive $22.95 "Film Editing" provides an introduction to the craft of editing in the non-silent film. In clear and accessible language, Valerie Orpen considers editing as an expressive strategy rather than a mere technique. She reveals that editing can be approached and studied in a similar way to other aspects of film. Traditionally, studies on editing or montage tend to focus on silent cinema, yet this book claims that an examination of editing should also consider the role of the soundtrack. The aim of "Film Editing" is to examine the way in which editing can make meaning. The book addresses editing as part of a wider context and as a crucial element of the overarching design and vision of a film. Consequently, this book incorporates other parameters, such as mise-en-scA]ne, framing, sound, genre, history, and performance. By examining a number of mainstream and art films, such as Godard’s "A bout de souffle," Hitchcock’s "Rear Window," and Scorsese’s "Raging Bull, Film Editing" seeks to dispel the notion that editing is necessarily polarized as continuity versus discontinuity.

The Conversations: Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film $19.21 "The Conversations" is a treasure, essential for any lover or student of film, and a rare, intimate glimpse into the worlds of two accomplished artists who share a great passion for film and storytelling, and whose knowledge and love of the crafts of writing and film shine through. It was on the set of the movie adaptation of his Booker Prize-winning novel, "The English Patient," that Michael Ondaatje met the master film and sound editor Walter Murch, and the two began a remarkable personal conversation about the making of films and books in our time that continued over two years. From those conversations stemmed this enlightened, affectionate book — a mine of wonderful, surprising observations and information about editing, writing and literature, music and sound, the I-Ching, dreams, art and history. "The Conversations" is filled with stories about how some of the most important movies of the last thirty years were made and about the people who brought them to the screen. It traces the artistic growth of Murch, as well as his friends and contemporaries — including directors such as Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, Fred Zinneman and Anthony Minghella — from the creation of the independent, anti-Hollywood Zoetrope by a handful of brilliant, bearded young men to the recent triumph of "Apocalypse Now Redux." Among the films Murch has worked on are "American Graffiti," "The Conversation," the remake of "A Touch of Evil," "Julia," "Apocalypse Now," "The Godfather" (all three), "The Talented Mr. Ripley," and "The English Patient." ""Walter Murch is a true oddity in Hollywood. A genuine intellectual and renaissance man who appears wise and private at the centre of various temporary storms to do with film making and his whole generation of filmmakers. He knows, probably, where a lot of the bodies are buried.""
