Chapter 3 Discussion Questions:
1) Why are the best editing techniques often invisible to home audiences?
The audience won't really understand what's really going on. So it would be pointless for them to watch something that would take their attention away from what is really going on.
2) Describe how editing can be used to help enhance the visual storytelling process.
It duplicates the manner in which the mind sees. People really edit with their eyes and minds. This is also where the audience can communicate a story's sense of experience and realism.
3) Explain why an understanding of picture editing is important to all members of the reporting team.
It's important because it helps everyone emphasize, reveal, pace and structure various elements that make up television news stories.
4) Describe the role of the cut in video editing.
The cut is the simple joining of one scene to the other. The editor can cut from any image to another and can direct the eye's attention to any detail or anything happening.
5) Explain the meaning of the phrase "pace is everything" as it applies to television news.
It means that audiences will lose interest if story development is to plodding, dull, boring or predictable. Most video editors just have the instinct feeling of a story's pace feeling "right or not".
