Editorial Intentionality

core editorial philosophy that an editor must be able to articulate the 'why' behind nearly every choice made in a scene. This requires a deep understanding of character motivation, the scene's purpose, and its relationship to the surrounding narrative, moving beyond simply assembling a puzzle. It is the editor's responsibility to form their own interpretation and discover the different ways a scene can 'live,' even if it deviates from the original script or preconceived notions.
