The Art Of Film And Video Editing Part-3
Filmmaking spread around the world and D.W. Griffith’s techniques were widely studied. In the 1920s Soviet filmmakers were fascinated with editing and the theory of film as a communications and propaganda tool. After the 1917 Russian revolution the Soviet Union was trying to grow its new film industry. The new filmmakers did not have enough cameras or film stock so instead of shooting their own footage, they experimented with editing existing footage from Russian melodramas and the occasional American film. Lev Kuleshov, a film teacher, smuggled a copy of Griffith’s “Intolerance” so his students could study it in detail. They re-edited part of the film and discovered what a radical difference they could make by changing a scene.

As you will see in the following articles, it can be impossible to separate the editing from the directing. In fact directing and editing a film or video are often performed by the same person. As Anthony Woller wrote in “American CinemeEditor,” “An editor need not be a writer, but he or she must know story structure; he need not be a cameraman, but he must understand pictorial composition and the compatibility of angles; he need not be a director, but he must feel the actors’ performances and the dramatic or comedy pacing as surely as the director.”
