Part 5/8:
Arguably the most subtle yet impactful factor discussed is editing. Good editing can amplify an actor’s performance, heightening emotional moments and creating a cohesive narrative flow. An example given is Luke Skywalker’s training sequences in The Empire Strikes Back, where tight editing, reaction shots, and well-timed cuts accentuate Mark Hamill's nuanced performance. The result is a powerful depiction of internal conflict and growth, elevating the emotional resonance of the scene.
