When you think of the legendary film writers, directors, and cinematographers, does a single line, scene, or shot instantly come to mind? While you might have an image or two in your head, you\u2019d be hard-pressed to find someone else who immediately thinks of the same person, film, or moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when you do this for editing, while there are plenty of famous cuts in film history, there&#8217;s one that stands out as the collective example of great editing\u2014the famous match cut from <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0056172\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Lawrence of Arabia<\/a><\/em>.

Coates<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, along with further diving into the famous editor and her pioneering of the match cut technique, let\u2019s explore the styles and works of Coates as her influence has helped to shape the very fibers of how film, video, and content is still being edited today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-courage-of-your-convictions\"><span id=\"courage-of-your-convictions\">Courage of Your Convictions<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/20OSVNt6z14?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Coates began her six decade career back in the 1940s. Originally she learned to cut while working for a production company that specialized in religious films of the time. However, after serving as an assistant editor under film editor <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Reginald_Mills\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Reggie Mills<\/a> (here\u2019s a fantastic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/tips-working-with-assistant-film-editor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">article on defining the role of an assistant editor<\/a>), she&#8217;d eventually break through and become one of the most prolific editors in the mainstream film industry, working steadily through the 50s all the way up to the late 2010s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her career is also quite unique. She found success while working across a wide array of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/guide-to-basic-film-genres\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">film genres<\/a>, as well as for dozens of different directors. Along with the infamous <em>Lawrence of Arabia<\/em> (which truly served as her breakout work), Coates edited a variety of other films that were a mix of big-budget blockbusters and critically acclaimed art films. Her myriad credits include <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0080678\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">The Elephant Man<\/a><\/em>, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0091828\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Raw Deal<\/a><\/em>, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0103241\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">What About Bob?<\/a><\/em>, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0195685\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Erin Brockovich<\/a><\/em>, and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0385752\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">The Golden Compass<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pioneer-of-the-match-cut\"><span id=\"pioneer-of-the-match-cut\">Pioneer of the Match Cut<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eF71O2aoIjE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the reasons why Coates has been so successful as a film editor, as well as one of the best lessons that aspiring film and video editors can take away from her work, is just how much she pioneered and adapted in her career. Remember, the world of NLE platforms and digital editing is still a recent invention in the grand scheme of filmmaking. For those generations before us, cutting was a much different process, at first built out of necessity rather than artistic interpretation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was early pioneers like Coates who had the audacity to start making cuts based on thematic and originative elements to help a film better tell a story. One of the best examples of Coates&#8217; ingenuity comes from the aforementioned famous cut from <em>Lawrence of Arabia<\/em>. This is one of the first and, ultimately, best examples of a thematic \u201cmatch cut\u201d (one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Wv3Hmf2Dxlo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">nine cuts every video editor should know<\/a>). It&#8217;s stark and powerful, serving as a hard transition to the next scene, and helping to develop many of the themes and motifs that paint the rest of the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-be-an-actor-s-editor\"><span id=\"be-an-actors-editor\">Be an Actor\u2019s Editor<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I seem to get the rhythm from the performances. I like to feel I&#8217;m very much an actor&#8217;s editor. I look very much to the performances and cut very much for performances rather than the action. I think that&#8217;s important, what&#8217;s in the eyes of the actor. <\/p><cite>&#8211; Annie V. Coates (via <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anne_V._Coates#Quotes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Wikiquotes<\/a>)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, for those interested in pursuing a career in film and video editing, Coates is an excellent case study in how to find both opportunities and success throughout a career. But, along with being a seasoned pro and having a crafty eye for shaping a film, how was Coates able to find so many amazing editing roles?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A more nuanced answer might be because of how Coates has been able to work not only with a film\u2019s director, but also with the actors. Traditionally, of course, film editors aren&#8217;t on set (unless simply to take notes or review dailies). However, as Coates states in the quote above, she&#8217;s aware of her actors\u2019 performances in the films as she makes her cuts in the editing room. Speaking specifically about Hollywood films, the purpose of many projects is indeed to shine a light on these talented performers and their roles. A successful editor is one who can find these best moments and put the leads in the best light possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-making-the-coverage-work\"><span id=\"making-the-coverage-work\">Making the Coverage Work<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GVfOHfNajJI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my favorite films from Coates\u2019 illustrious career is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0001486\/?ref_=tt_ov_dr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Sidney Lumet<\/a>\u2019s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0071877\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Murder on the Orient Express<\/a><\/em>, a classic homage to early Hollywood whodunit mysteries. The film was obviously shot with a large ensemble cast and in the tight confines of a 1930s passenger car. One of the biggest challenges for editing a film like <em>Orient Express<\/em> for Coates, as she reveals in this panel discussion in 2016, was often from the lack of coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For anyone who\u2019s ever edited a student short film or any sort of project with limited shot availability, these issues with coverage might be all too familiar. However, to hear Coates talk about \u201csneaking in extra close-ups\u201d or how to find other creative solutions for mixing in complex flashbacks is a testament to how a good editor can make the best out of any situation by making the final edit unique, as well as reflective of what the writers and directors envisioned for the project overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-lifetime-of-achievement\"><span id=\"a-lifetime-of-achievement\">A Lifetime of Achievement<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jIuC4RSlJxI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2016, nearly sixty years after receiving her first film editing credit, and on the heels of her final film editor credit for <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2322441\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Fifty Shades of Grey<\/a><\/em> in 2015, Coates received an Honorary Award at the 2016 Governors Awards, paying tribute to one of the most important film editors in modern cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coates, who passed away two years later in 2018 (at the age of 92), will be remembered as a pioneer of film editing technique and achievement, and one of the most influential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/blog\/women-in-post-production\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">women in post-production<\/a>.
