The purpose of these classes is to understand the art and technique of master editors.  How do they decide what shot to use and when exactly to cut in and out of that shot? How do they shape actors’ performances and fit the puzzle pieces together to make a story work? O’Steen will reveal the wisdom and strategies of master editors by taking you through a cut-by-cut analysis of many classic movie scenes, based on interviews from her popular books, panels, and event series.  Ultimately, you’ll develop a deeper knowledge of the thinking behind the editing process, empowering you to become a better editor and storyteller yourself. “O'Steen uses her insider knowledge and sensitivity to the work of editors to expose the techniques, or rather the feelings, and the instincts behind "making movie magic."  - Editor Carol Littleton, ACE ("E.T. the Extra Terrestrial," "The Big Chill")  About the classes:  Making The Cut with Bobbie O'Steen: Volume 1 ...
