How films dictate how we feel through editing

How films dictate how we feel through editing

What is your actual editing process? This is the question that Tony Zhou attempts to answer in his and Taylor Ramos’ new video essay over at Every Frame A Painting. Titled “How Does an Editor Think and Feel,” the video describes, or at least tries to, the process that an editor goes through when editing a film i.e., when does s/he cut? The short answer: It’s instinctive.

This may be an unsatisfying answer, but it really is the case. With a clip from Wong Kar-wai’s In the Mood for Love, Zhou demonstrates that a difference of four seconds, as well as the use of either a single shot or multiple shots, can drastically change the emotion being conveyed by a character.

The other main point of the video essay is that emotions, to feel authentic, must take time. This was illustrated with a clip from The Empire Strikes Back in which Luke Skywalker fails to lift his X-Wing with the use of the Force, which was then contrasted with a similar scene in Ant-Man in which Scott Lang tries unsuccessfully to talk to ants for the first time. Zhou argues that audiences sympathized more for Luke than for Scott because Luke’s failure was depicted over 30 seconds of multiple shots, whereas Scott’s lasted merely 30 frames.
