The 'art of editing': creative practice and pedagogy

The ‘Art of Editing’: Creative Practice and Pedagogy, has been undertaken as practice-led/practice-based research and leads to new insights into creativity in editing and the teaching of editing practice. The artefact is designed as an educational resource, structured around a series of interviews with prominent Australian screen editors who discuss the creative attributes of editing in reference to their practice, and in defining editing as a craft or an art. The exegesis reflects on the production of the artefact, and opens up a scholarly debate on theoretical, historical and contemporary notions of creative editing practice, and teaching creativity in editing.
