Used for: Thinking about decision-making in art Praised: Showed how editing is rewriting and making the definitive version of a work

"For me the most impactful book for thinking is this book on film editing by Walter Murch... It's called The Conversations. I read that in uni because I found it in the library, and that was really impactful about decision-making in art."
