Editing The editing process of a film is a very important part where an editor can proudly display his creative skills. It takes a lot of work and effort to edit a film. Film editors can change a scene from a film that they didn't like. They can also shoot two scenes separately and then edit them together to make it look like they were shot together. The editor works with many parts to make a finished film; such as sounds, images and character dialogues. Editing can be used in many different ways in a film, and an editor must edit all of these aspects in a way that produces a coherent and smooth transition of the story. The “To Have and Have Not” sequence begins with a medium shot of people sitting in a bar, then cuts to Bogart as he sits at a table. Immediately afterwards she approaches him and he lights a cigarette. As he lights the cigarette, music begins to play. He looks up because something catches his attention, so the frame shifts to where he's looking, which is across the room. The camera picks up the scene from across the room in a long shot where we can see a crowd around a piano, people sitting around tables drinking, and Bacall who is sitting at a table drinking with a man. Next, the shot cuts to a medium shot of Bacall and the man she is sitting with. Bacall notices Bogart looking at her, then the shot pans across the room to him looking at her and then back to her in the foreground. We know Bogart was originally looking at Bacall because Hawks used eye matching to make it clear. That is, when Bogart looks at Bacall, the camera cuts to her looking at him and vice versa. He then turns to look at the jazz pianist when the camera pans to him in a medium shot. The shot then cuts... to the center of the card... Ogart and Bacall are about to begin a romantic relationship. However, she is a little defensive when he tries to give her a compliment. Bogart calls her skinny, which is supposed to be a compliment; however, she prefers not to be called that because she is aware of her body. In most of the shots in the last part of the sequence, Bogart and Bacall are very close to each other, implying that they are interested in each other. They also make a lot of eye contact, which can also imply interest. Because Hawks follows the rules of continuity editing and did not use other editing techniques that contradict this, the sequence was very easy to understand. This sequence represents a perfect example of invisible editing. That is, Hawks' editing was seamless, with no editing techniques that could detract from the plot or the actors.
