I’m a filmmaker, university film instructor, and author/writer of film topics. I was excited to hear about this DVD because, to quote it’s own blurb “this fascinating program lets you in on the secrets…” of film editing I had presumed. I expected an educational presentation that would dissect the cuts and the tricks, and show the development of a scene from the multiple takes and camera angles, and how an editor selects, massages, and makes it come together visually and aurally. There is a little of that… maybe 10%. The rest of it is talking heads about the “secrets” and the pontificating by directors and editors about how amazing they both are. Good Grief! Save me the self-aggrandizement. I think you’ve heard the adage: “Don’t tell me, show me.” There is far too much talking head about what is done, but there are no examples of scenes “in process” but only the final cut. The examples are only referential. Very disappointing. And Tarantino’s gushing and hugging his editor has nothing to do with how editing works. This is a blatant ACE promotional piece masking as a documentary. Especially disappointing was the Sharon Stone crotch shots from Basic Instinct that destroys the DVD for high schools and makes it inappropriate for most other audiences. Even the director admits that the inclusion of these shots was NOT at the editor’s discretion, but was his intent all along, no doubt to get at the audience’s “basic instincts.” The shots have everything to do with the story… but little to do with a secret of editing… more to do with the secrets and tricks of marketing. I had hoped to use this in my classes, but I cannot. I am returning the two I ordered. Can’t use ‘em.
if you are interested in the art of film. Note that this is the same documentary that was included as an extra in the recent DVD of Steve McQueen’s “Bullitt” so if you already have that DVD, you don’t need this. Of course, if you want to spend a few extra bucks, you can get this some documentary and a kick butt Steve McQueen movie to go with it.
