On Pablo Ferro

The interview with Pablo Ferro, to me was very interesting  and insightful. Instead of feeling as though I was reading a boring interview, I felt more like I was witness to a pleasing conversation between friends on different ways to make films.

Pablo Ferro is  famous for his work on Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, The Thomas Crown Affair, Built, and To Die For. He is also famous for introducing the quick cut edit and using multiple screens in a film. He is also known for not using sound while editing.

Ferro believed that long, lengthy scenes or clips bored audiences. But using quick cuts, Ferro was able to keep the audience's attention, as well as convey much more information in a short amount of time. This is also true for the use of multiple screens. These techniques are still used extensively in modern day cinema, as well as most advertisments.
