First Cut by Gabriella Oldham
First Cut offers an opportunity to learn what film editing really is, and to learn from the source. Gabriella Oldham's interviews with twenty-three award-winning film editors give a full picture of the complex art and craft of editing a film. Filled with animated anecdotes and detailed examples, and updated with a new preface, this book provides a comprehensive treatment of both documentary and feature film editing.
"The real accomplishment of Oldham's book is her concentration on the psychology of editors rather than just their technical ingenuity.. Let's hope a third volume of this illuminating series will follow." -- Kevin Lewis Editors Guild Mag
