Thelma Schoonmaker is a film editor with a dazzling filmography and a career that spans 6 decades. Her most consistent and fruitful collaboration during those years has been with director Martin Scorsese. To date, they have joined creative forces on over 20+ feature films — making it near impossible to discuss Scorsese’s work without acknowledging Schoonmaker. In this short documentary, Thelma guides us through this working relationship and how some of these directing and film editing decisions get made.
After editing Scorsese’s first feature film, Who’s That Knocking at My Door, Schoonmaker would essentially become his full-time feature editor starting with Raging Bull. What she describes as part of their general approach is an editing style that is less concerned with a polished and perfect construction. Mistakes, bumps, jump cuts — she explains, “A lot of people think editing should be invisible, but we’ve never felt that way.”
For an example of these intentionally imperfect film editing techniques, look no further than The Irishman. As De Niro makes a difficult phone call, two different takes are spliced together with an obvious jump cut in the middle. Another example can be found in Goodfellas during Henry and Karen’s wedding — the violence of the glass being stepped motivates rougher, more jagged edits for the subsequent shots.
In film editing, artisans like Thelma Schoonmaker bring this sense of exploration and imperfection into a style all its own. Like any art form, the art of editing can be less dependent on precision and more focused on performance and emotional truth. If one wants to study the full breadth of film editing tips — the work of film editor Thelma Schoonmaker provides endless lessons.
