Film editing is to screen, select, decompose and combine a large number of materials shot in film production, and finally complete a work with clear meaning, distinct theme, strong artistic appeal and coherence.
Starting from American director Griffith, the art of editing was produced by using the method of lens shooting and then connecting these lens groups.
Editing is an indispensable work in the process of film production, and it is also the last re-creation in the process of film art creation. French new wave film director Godard: editing is the official beginning of film creation.
Film editing is a unified creative method. Its two different aspects-editing and editing-are complementary and inseparable. There is no series without editing, and there is no need to edit without editing. Any theory and practice that ignores one thing and separates the relationship between the two is incorrect.
Cutting out shots and paragraphs and combining them according to a certain structure is the complete creative process of editing. And no matter what ideas and techniques are used in editing, the role of editing in film re-creation should be more and more prominent and strengthened, not the opposite.
It is one of the characteristics of the film to "start" and "re-create" many times. As far as the big stage is concerned, the creative process of modern film art includes three re-creations: the first "beginning" and "creation" are the playwright's film conception and script writing, and the visual and auditory images of the whole film are put on paper in the form of words;
The second "beginning" and "creation" are the director's overall idea and directional shooting, which transforms all the literal images of literary scripts into a series of shots with different scenes and angles, and shoots the images and sounds recorded on the film with a camera and a tape recorder respectively, or shoots them one by one.
Complete the artistic re-creation of the previous film, thus enriching and enriching the connotation of the literary script created in the first stage; The third "beginning" and "creation" are the simultaneous creation of the director and the editor.
Through editing, according to the original material picture taken by storyboard and the original material sound recorded, and according to the rationality of the motion law, a complete screen image that can be projected is combined.
