satisfactory, because that type seems to pass through the projection machine more readily, not tearing apart after repeated use as does the full sprocket patch.
Systematized Work Necessary
Each editor is, of course, assigned one or two assistants, each of whom should have speed, care and system in the handling of his film. System in the cutting room naturally results in cleanliness. Film at all times should be kept on file in cans and in fire protection cabinets. Fire is a hazard in any part of an organization where film is being handled and the less film that is exposed, the less the hazard. Particular care should be taken to expose as little film as possible and the eflScient editor, with the help of an efficient assistant, will have very little film about his room at any one time.
The following mechanical devices really comprise the fittings of a cutting room: metal rewinding tables, each table with one set of re-winders and racks for the filing of small rolls of film — with either artificial or natural light in the background, facing the rack. Steel cabinets for the filing of excess film; combination sound and silent moviolas; film bins and clips for the clipping together of film preliminary to splicing and also the necessary reels required in the handling of the film.
I again want to state that editing involves a great deal of careful and intelligent work. Give an efficient editor the above mentioned equipment, plus one pair of scissors, and no picture is too great a task for him.
Experience a Vital Factor I have found it a great advantage to surround myself with men who have had a number of years' experience in film editing. In general, the longer the experience, the greater the proficiency. With the handling of each picture an editor learns and experiences situations which perhaps have not confronted him before and in time becomes thoroughly familiar with dramatic, comic and fast tempo situations. Often he is able to create situations in the picture which, from all appearances, the film would not permit.
Summing up, I suggest that a thorough knowledge of film editing is perhaps the best requisite for success in almost any branch of the production end of this business. You will find that directors who have risen from the ranks of editors are the ace directors of the business, the knowledge which they gained as cutters being of untold value to them in their subsequent work.
