By Betsy A. McLane F or everyone who hopes to become a successful motion picture editor and has questions how to get involved, get started, move from assistant editor to editor, and maintain a long-term career, John Rosenberg has answers. SCREEN GEMS A NEW BOOK LOOKS AT EDITING CAREERS FROM MULTIPLE ANGLES In his new book "Editing for the Screen," Rosenberg takes an unusual byline — "Ed- ited by John Rosenberg" — rather than "Written by." This is appropriate and tell- ing. Rosenberg is a Motion Picture Editors Guild member, belongs to ACE, and is a long-time, multi-talented picture editor. He has worn several industry hats: He was an assistant who moved up to editor; he also produced films; and, as part of his multi- faceted career, he teaches "The Aesthetics of Editing" at the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts. This book is organized as one might John Rosenberg, center, during production of "The Blue Light." P H OT O : I M D B 40 C I N E M O N T A G E B O O K R E V I E W
