 * The “sound person” always (should) supervise the post production process
 * “Close up of a very human face against an incredible backdrop of historical action. And having the two things work together without unbalancing each other”.
 * Make different edits of a scene to see the impacts of both.
 * o Allow for pauses sometimes and see how it affects tone
 * Because of missing footage, the editor ended up making the scene a dream sequence.
 * Ended up having to reshoot one shot only
 * Always try to work with what you have, be creative
 * Need conventional plot material
 * o Makes film awkward otherwise
 * When editors remade films for DVD releases, they generally don’t change much. In this text’s case, the editor changed the soundtrack only.
 * Camera movement gives you that effect of another alien presence in the room
 * Music functions best when it channels an emotion that has already been created out of the fabric of the story and the film
 * In //The Conversation//, the audience goes through six minutes with no music accompanying what's happening. It's only at the moment Harry realizes to his chagrin, Oh no, this apple is poisoned, that the music comes in.
 * Editor and Cinematographer need to work in confusion on set.
 * o In order to see an idea through, every one needs to be on the same page.
 * The only time one is able to exercise control over the film is in the editing. The images themselves are not sufficient.
 * As a professional editor, one should go through great lengths to get the best music. A good deal of the text talks about musicians that directed theme songs for many movies such as Mickey Hart who was the percussionist for the Grateful Dead and Apocalypse Now.
 * Source Music - Music that comes from within the scene, either because an orchestra is playing and you see the orchestra or because somebody has a radio or record player on.
 * Plays with the "unconscious" mind. You don't necessarily notice the music but it will impact the scene drastically.
 * Different actors need different camera lenses
