Editing is not just cutting footage together — it is a way of deciding whose feelings matter. In this Thought Summer episode, Umnia talks about empathetic rhythm: how reaction shots, pacing, framing, and editorial attention shape who we identify with in a scene, and why editing is another form of writing.
Prompt: Watch one scene and track whose reaction you are being asked to care about. What changes when the edit cuts to, or away from, someone else’s feeling?
