My favorite editor is Thelma Schoonmaker. I chose Thelma Schoonmaker because she edited my favorite movie, The Departed. She has worked on films such as Raging Bull, The Departed, Goodfellas, Casino, Gangs of New York and Shutter Island. She was born in 1940 in Algiers, Algeria. Thelma immigrated to the United States in 1955 and did not pursue a job until 1961 when she accepted a newspaper advertisement for a job when The New York Times was looking for an "assistant film editor." Thelma Schoonmaker has no particular style and uses different styles on different films. Schoonmaker has been nominated for three Academy Awards and won three. I personally do not have an editing style becasue I am to inexperienced. Editing is important becasue with out it movies would be unorganized and lack many effects such as suspense, and focusing techniques.

Nice job Mike, straight forward and to the point. You had some minor grammatical problems which I will go over with you. It would have been nice to know more about her style and what makes her so talented.
Otherwise, nice work.
