Insight is also included on an array of technical issues such as script breakdown, prepping for sound effects, organizing camera and sound reports, comparison timings, assembly footage, and more. The authors also share their sage wisdom on industry protocol, with tips on interviewing, etiquette, career planning, and more, concluding with a chapter featuring Q+A sessions with various established Hollywood editors on what they expect from their assistant editors.
