ADOLESCENCE "allows us to see that grand tragedy play out over four agonizing slices of real time, opening up new dimensions to grief and anger and consternation that traditional filmmaking would far too easily protect us from."

Read @clintworthing.bsky.social's review:
How the One-Take Approach of "Adolescence" Traps Us in Tragedy | Features | Roger Ebert
The unbroken shots of Netflix's hit crime drama are more than just for show: They hit at the emotional immediacy of grief and despair.

What do you all think of the oners in Adolescence?

Editing has always appealed to me because I feel like I’m making sense out of chaos. It’s my own way of finding control in this world. I’m working to define context and viewpoint, and I get the most amazing building blocks in the world: other people’s art.

A film editor is “an everyday, working magician.” - Walter Murch, In The Blink of an Eye

That feeling when you’re fighting your editing software and finally say “there has to be an easier way to do this,” and then you learn something great, but you feel like a dummy for not looking it up sooner

My go-to when I’m stuck on a scene is to go back to basics

I’m noticing a lot of slow motion being used as a substitute for character development these days

In rewatching Portrait of a Lady on Fire I’m struck by the distinct absence of music throughout the film, and yet, I don’t miss it.

It showcases some editing advice I received early in my career - Your cuts should always work without music. The music should only be there to enhance, not rescue

Does anyone else find themselves tapping their desk like a drum set while cutting a montage? Even when there’s no music yet?

Honestly, couldn’t agree more. Part of me says, “we need the work. Let the terrible sequels happen” but working on bad films wears you down, and it floods the market with unwatchable rehashes
So tired of reboots and sequels and derivative projects. Yes, I know, they’ve always been a part of entertainment, but I just feel like we reached critical mass about 10 years ago and it kept building and building anyway.

Real question - where does everyone change outfits during the Oscars? Are there that many green rooms at The Dolby Theater? Trailers? A chaotic, star-filled bathroom?

In reading a lot of books by film and tv editors, I’m finding that describing the art and craft of editing is extremely difficult. It’s sculpture, it’s mining, it’s that scene in The Matrix when Neo can finally see it all. How would you describe it?

There's nothing worse than that "oh nooo, I messed up," wash of shame that comes over you when you've made a big mistake. You’re not alone. It happens. Here’s how to handle a mistake at work: a thread
