Each Friday, a CINE Award-winner, Board member, staffer, juror or FOC (“Friend of CINE”) will select a favorite quote, either from a film or about filmmaking/creativity, and explain why it’s a favorite.
Today: Michelle-Marie Polanco, CINE Intern and a senior at the George Washington University.
“A film’s rhythm is its heartbeat. How a film is cut is probably more important than any single aspect… If a film is not properly paced, it will die. If a film is too quickly paced it will have no emotional content.”
- Rob Cohen
I love this quote because I believe it holds true. The editing process can take an excellent filmmaker’s work and either make it better or…not. It can turn a lackluster performance into a masterful performance. Editing is the backbone of film.
