Script Editing Seminar 4

Tutor:

Jan GOGOLA

Synopsis:

The script editor should be capable of mediating a certain view, which must not function as an obstacle; like a chameleon, which we always see in relation to its environment, into which the visibility of its body dissolves. The work of the script editor should be evident in the motion it lends to the given environment, the way in which the position of a chameleon is only revealed by the branch that moves with it. The significance of script editing increases with the skills of the script editor to figure invisibly in the environment so that multiple aspects are made visible at once, thus adding ambiguity to the perspective and multiplying the possible layers of meaning in a film and to the interpretations of those layers.

Knowledge of possible associations is the precondition for an unprejudiced approach to potential authors and themes. The script editor's symbiosis with his/her environment means that his/her role also belongs to the moment, established by the specific constellation of a certain encounter, because socio-film discourse is constantly changing. The possibility of that encounter and the will of the actors, in the form of cooperation, becomes apparent only once the script editor has attempted to establish a corresponding socio-film communication situation.

The objective of this course is to introduce script editing to students as a possible philosophical perception of the world.
