Fourth in the popular Screencraft series, Editing & Post-Production examines, through example, the craft of cutting and how films are created in the cutting room.

From the technical aspects of selecting takes, viewing the rushes, setting up the cutting room and creating efficient systems to the relationships involved with the script itself, the composer, the producer and the director, this beautifully designed book is an intriguing insight into the role of the editor and the post-production team. It will inspire professionals, students, and movie buffs alike.
