On its most fundamental level, film editing is the art, technique and practice of assembling shots into a coherent sequence. The job of an editor is not simply to mechanically put pieces of a film together, cut off film slates or edit dialogue scenes.

A good editor will cohesively tie all of the parts together, keeping a close eye on the minimal details while never losing sight of the greater picture. Also, good editing is something you notice by its lack more than by its presence. Good editing can help a movie move at a good pace suiting the story and establishing a proper engagement with its audiences. When scenes are edited well emotions, tensions and mystery can be colligated in the right shot. Good editing can turn a sad scene into a high-voltage drama showing the emotions in full light.

Video editing is important because it is the key to blending images and sounds to make us feel emotionally connected and sometimes truly there in the film we’re watching. It’s a safe assumption to say that video editing is among the most important jobs in the film industry.

My Tiger And I is a short film that shows great use of editing, which won them the reward of best editing at GMC film festival.
