  • Probabily the most useful book on film editing5

    Maj Jukic I've been looking for a long time for a really useful book on film editing. Eisenstein's theoretic lessons aside this is probabily the most resourceful book on how to edit a movie.
    It's hard to say what are the rules of editing and how to do it in particular situations but Murch does it quite good in only showing you a few points that can be good to lean on when searching for the right rhythm. He supports his theories with examples from movies he's been working on (Apocalypse now, English patient, etc.) so you can quickly get the idea what he's talking about.
    The book also covers what the working space of a film editor should be like, how the editor and the director should cooperate, the history (and possibly future) of editing and quite a few of small but very useful little tips for editing work-flow.
    This is not a book that will teach you technical knowledge of video editing (if you want to be an editor you should know how to use your program, right?) but the philosophy of making cuts and the flow of a movie.
    I certainly recommend it to everyone interested in this field. by Maj Jukic
