Favorite Editor


My favorite film editor is Dede Allen, she is my favorite editor because he edited one of my favorite movies, 'The Addams Familly''. She wasn't always a film editor, how she became on was by making her way up. She was first a production runner, and then a sound librarian, and then an assistant film editor. She first edited industrial fils amd commercials, and then l;ater on started editing films.

Dede's editing techniques were simmilar to the editing of dadaist filmmaking, where she used audio overlaps and utilised audio jump cuts. She also used stylistic flourishes the brough realism and energy to the characters. Many of Dede's movies include ''The Hustler'',''Bonnie and Clyde'',''Little Big Man'' and many more. Although I do not have my own editing techniques, i think editing is very important in film making because without editing, all you have is a bunch of shots, when editing, its like you actually put them all together and make something out of them, and you enhance them creating better film, and that was very important, and Dede Allen was very good at doing that.
