About this episode
Today on Art of the Cut, Úna Ní Dhonghaíle, ACE discusses editing Disney’s Young Woman and the Sea. Una was first nominated for an editing BAFTA 15 years ago. And again in 2013 and THREE TIMES in 2015. She won a BAFTA for Three Girls and was nominated for another BAFTA and an ACE Eddie for editing Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast which we discussed right here on Art of the Cut. She was also on Art of the Cut previously for her work on The Crown and for Death on the Nile. Today we’re going to be talking about the importance of taking time to build up character for big emotional payoffs later, jump-cutting for emotion, and discovering that collapsing or compressing scenes can reveal new things, dramatically.
