There would be no film without film editing. And yet, its practitioners don't often grace the cover of magazines.
There would be no film without film editing. And yet, its practitioners don't often grace the cover of magazines.. But one crucial component links them: they were all edited by women.
"Basically, you take thousands of feet of film — you know, hundreds of shots of different scenes, whatever — figure out what the best take is, what's the best performance, what's the best moment in that performance, and make it all flow in a way so that when we're watching something, we stay completely in the story," Friedrich said."When you do it really well, nobody's noticing what you've done.
Friedrich said this notion pushed women out of other jobs in the industry, like directing and cinematography. But because many people saw film editing – or cutting, as it was called then – as unglamorous, secretarial work, it proved to be an easier entry point for women in the industry. And it gave them a lot of creative control.One of the famed editors of Old Hollywood was Margaret Booth, who began her career with D.W. Griffith pioneering revolutionary film editing techniques.
To compare, when Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win best director, it came 81 years after the first directing award was given."I mean, there are so many amazing examples of women who worked hand in hand with the director. And most of these women, I mean, their credits — they edited 50 films, 75 films, 100 films," Friedrich said.
"Ten versions of that performance are amazing, and for the longest time we had one version where he's, like, staring at her and he's looking at her. And then we realized, 'You know what? I think it'd be better if he wasn't looking at her, and, you know, he had more shame.' And it was. So it's just this just constant tweaking," Lame said.
