film editor
Cuts the scenes
A film editor assembles raw footage into a finished motion picture, selecting shots, arranging sequences, and controlling pacing and rhythm.
The editor works closely with the director to shape narrative flow, manage transitions, and determine what audiences see and when.
The film editor cut the chase scene to build tension.
Good editing is often invisible—noticed mainly when it fails.
