Question

which of the following describes the usual creative role of the film editor?

○ the dominant creative power of the production

○ the creative power on equal footing with the director of the production

○ the creative power who puts his or her talents in the service of the directors vision

○ a creative force that changes the entire shape of the film

○ a mere technician with no creative power

Explanation:

In standard film production, the director holds the primary creative vision for the film. The film editor uses their creative skills to assemble footage in a way that realizes and supports that director's vision, rather than being the dominant creative force, equal to the director, or solely a technician with no creativity. Major overhauls of the film's shape are not the standard role.

Answer:

the creative power who puts his or her talents in the service of the director's vision
