Which Editor To Look At?
I recently went to an open day at Canterbury Christ Church and was looking into a film, radio and televison course. I found out about a film editor Thelma Shoonmaker Powell, whose name was dedicated to the media department's block.
She was the main editor to the well known film maker Martin Scorcese for 30 years and was married to another film maker called Micheal Powell.
Thelma was the main editor for films such as Raging Bull, The Aviator and The Departed, and she won many awards for these.
In conclusion, I have decided to study the style and techniques of Powell, and create my own piece paying homage to her.

Initial idea
As my passion lies in film production, I wanted to do my project on film. I am particulay interested in the editing process of film making, because it allows you be very creative.
Therefore, for my extended project I will be looking at a well known film editor,exploring their style and techniques, and as an end result, cretae a shot film paying homage to them.
