We talk with Australian filmmaker, editor, producer, and all round creative powerhouse Maia Dal Berger about the subtle psychologies of the editing process - and discover that when it comes to the cut, there's more than meets the eye!
What happens to the mind when we edit? What kind of processes do we go through when trying to assemble fragments of information into a cohesive whole?
For those who have lent their hand to editing knows that there are so many elements at play to making a good cut - and in many respects, it's all about building up those intuitive processes and instinctual readings of tempo, pacing, shot choice and meaning.
But is there something much, much deeper going on when we are building out a piece?
