As the editor begins his task, he has thousands of feet of small individual scenes which have been photographed out of continuity and at various angles, close-ups, full shots, two-shots, silent shots, reaction shots, point-of-view shots, inserts, etc. . . for the ultimate selection as to performance, quality, and timing.

Shooting is like buying groceries and the real cooking is at the editing table.
