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.
