Film editing : history, theory and practice -
Looking at the invisible
Don Fairservice
Manchester University Press
“The best compliment one can pay an editor is to tell
him that his editing is invisible - an editing job is
considered successful when it goes unnoticed on the
screen. Ironically an editor invests weeks or months
of intensive work to achieve the impression
that he has done nothing at all.”
Ephraim Katz - The International Film Encyclopaedia
This is the first book to trace in detail the history
of film editing from its beginnings to the present
day. It is also the first with text illustrations
available on video.
