There are many books on the technical aspects of film and video
editing. Much rarer are books on how editors think and make
creative decisions. Filled with timeless principles and
thought-provoking examples from a variety of international films,
the second edition of Karen Pearlman's Cutting Rhythms offers an
in-depth study of the film editor's rhythmic creativity and
intuition, the processes and tools editors use to shape rhythms,
and how rhythm works to engage audiences in film. While respecting
the importance of intuitive flow in the cutting room, this book
offers processes for understanding what editing intuition is and
how to develop it. This fully revised and updated edition contains:
New chapters on collaboration and "editing thinking"; Advice on
making onscreen drafts before finalizing your story Tips on how to
create and sustain audience empathy and engagement; Explanations of
how rhythm is perceived, learned, practiced and applied in editing;
Updated discussions of intuition, structure and dynamics; An
all-new companion website (www.focalpress.com/cw/pearlman) with
video examples and links for expanding and illustrating the
principles of key chapters in the book.
