14.2. Editing strips

Within a movie strip there is some usable footage, and when dealing with footage there are some important considerations. When you film, the director calls for quiet on the set, and the cameraman starts filming. There may be a clapper snapped in camera view to document the scene and to provide a nice sync point for audio to the film. The director then calls for "action" and the actors start acting. The action ends, and the director yells "cut" and the camera rolls to a stop.
