Talk to any serious filmmaker and they will tell you that a film is made in the editing room. You can have the worst script and production ever and still save it in the editing room if you have a good editor. Inversely, you can have the best script and best production ever and lose it all in the editing room if the editor is not that good. An editor is someone who knows when not to cut in a way that lets the story emerge and lets the characters have a sense of purpose. An editor has to be a connoisseur of history, sociology, psychology, art, dance music, literature, and more to feel the edit, give it rhythm, enhance the emotions, and manipulate the viewer’s perspective of reality and fantasy. There are two types of editors in the world; The ones who simply just operate the editing machine and the ones who create and sculpt using the machine as a tool. Walter Munch puts it very eloquently in the above quote; sure! anyone can use the multitude of editing software out there today, but not everyone can really edit.
