Film making

Editing

Filmmaking and modern filmmaking theory originated in France so most of the terms used in film-making are French.

  • Couper: To cut, the physical act of cutting movie films.
  • Monter: To edit, the creative act of editing.
  • Montage: The finished edit.
  • Closure: The more iconic or cartoonish a clip is, the easier it is to achieve closure.

It is not the actor that matters, it's the edit.
