Objective Viewing Decay

he gradual and inevitable loss of an editor's ability to view a film with fresh eyes after repeated screenings. This decay of objectivity makes it increasingly difficult to accurately judge pacing, emotional impact, and story clarity. Editors employ various strategies to combat this, such as resisting the urge to watch the full movie too often, focusing on details between screenings, or relying on new elements like VFX or sound to provide a fresh perspective.
