Quite often my online friends & especially many students of different institutes have asked me about the scopes of film & video editing , but before that I also realised from their FAQ (Frequently-Asked-Questions) over whatsapp / email/ over facebook chat and found many contradiction/confusing thought about film editing/video editing . A few students from a reputed media school (name not disclosed) had even said to me - 2D/3D animation is similar or complimentary to Video Editing, and later continue to ask me in full confidence '' isn't it true sir? '' .

- A basic discussion on - What is Film Editing / Video Editing ?
FILM EDITING is part of the creative post-production process of film making & the term FILM EDITING was derived from the traditional process of working with films, but now it increasingly involves the use of digital technology in course of time. Film editor works with the raw footage, involves in selecting shots and combining them into sequences to create a finished motion picture presentation. FILM EDITING is also described as an art or skill, the only art that is unique to cinema, separating film making from other art forms (such as photography, theatre, dance, writing, and directing ) , although there are close parallels to the editing process in other art forms like poetry or novel writing. FILM EDITING is the art, technique, and practice of assembling shots into a coherent sequence. The job of an editor is not simply to mechanically put pieces of a film together, cut off film slates, or edit dialog scenes. A film editor must creatively work with the layers of images, story, dialogue, music, pacing, as well as the actors’ performances to effectively “re-imagine” and even rewrite the film to craft a cohesive whole. Editors usually play a dynamic role in the making of a film.
- FILM EDITING is an art that can be used in diverse ways:
It can create sensually provocative montages
Become a lab for experimental cinema
Bring out the emotional truth in an actor’s performance
Create a point of view on otherwise obtuse events
Guide the telling and pace of a story

Give emphasis to things that would not have otherwise been noted
Even create a vital subconscious emotional connection to the viewer.
