In the Blink of an Eye

Chapter 9- Misdirection

• As film editor, you should put yourself in the place of the audience- what is the audience going to be thinking at any particular moment? Where are they going to be looking? What do you want them to think about? What do they need to think about? What do you want them to feel?
• "Misdirecting"- Sense of wonder- getting the audience to look the other way.

Chapter 10- Seeing around the edge of the frame

• The film editor is one of the few people working on the production of a film who does not know the exact conditions under which it was shot and who can at the same time have a tremendous influence on the film.
• The editor, on the other hand, should try to see only what's on the screen, as the audience will.
• The director is the person most familiar with all of the things that went on during the shoot, so he is the most burdened with this surplus, beyond the frame information.
