<\/a><\/p>\nEditing is one of the most under-appreciated<\/strong> roles in the filmmaking process. Maybe it’s the fact that it happens in a dark room instead of a huge sound stage, or maybe it’s because it goes almost entirely unnoticed to the audience. One thing is for sure, good editing is vitally important for a film’s success. Every movie is assembled through editing, but great<\/em> movies use editing to enhance the storytelling process.<\/p>\n The essence of cinema is editing. It’s the combination of what can be extraordinary images of people during emotional moments, or images in a general sense, put together in a kind of alchemy. -Francis Ford Coppola<\/p><\/blockquote>\n There is an endless list of impressive film editing<\/strong> examples, but the following video created by Cinefix shows us their top 10 of all time<\/strong>.
