Talking Editing for Movie Trailers with Autumn Moore

This week Autumn Moore, editor at Trailer Park in Los Angeles, talks about the full scope of what it takes to get a trailer on screen and how she loves that her ideas are the first thing you see on a project. We discuss how you can edit the beats of a trailer’s story in several ways, and breaking the formula is where cool work comes from, but you have to first know the editing formula to justify why you broke it. Autumn details the how assistant editing is the best way to become an editor, but editing is something you do on your own time because their skill-set is completely different. Lastly, we watch and dissect Autumn’s favorite current trailer breaking down why they work and why she loves them.

• Little Children (2006) - trailer #1
