This symposium asks various film editors on their opinions. The question posed is, “Do you believe that film editing should be ‘invisible’ or ‘visible’ to the viewer? Why? In other words, do you believe that your primary task is to create a visually seamless flow to support the narrative or do you believe there are other functions of editing?”
This article is extremely helpful and insightful, as it is the editor’s themselves that are faced with the everyday challenges of editing the in/visible, and are justifying each and every action to their director.
