I watch a lot of movies and television – I think it’s the best way to learn editing techniques, get inspired, and improve your overall knowledge. The fun thing about editing is that it’s about tapping into your feelings and following them. Whether that’s being thrilled by an adventure or feeling gutted by a drama. My edits tend to run rapid, sometimes chaotic and jumpy. Build the energy and then hold on a single beautiful shot.
I once learned this: Never go where the audience is anticipating you’ll go next.
