Editing & the Director's Eye
Montage, cutting rhythm, the invisible rules of continuity editing, and shot analysis: how a great director shoots the same scene.
Unit 1
The Invisible Rules of Editing
Three lessons: what editing actually does, how continuity editing makes cuts invisible, and why you 'cut for emotion.'

- 2Continuity Editing: The Invisible Rules That Hide the CutThe 180° system + four 'stitching' tools that make every cut disappear3 Q
- 3Cut for Emotion: Walter Murch's Rule of SixGood editing has priorities — emotion is 51%, more than the other five combined3 Q
Unit 2
Montage & Rhythm
Two lessons: creating meaning through juxtaposition (montage), and controlling pace with shot duration and split edits.
