Chapter 6 - Dialog Editing

one of the least understood Crafts in audio post production

Narrative storytelling is driven by dialog and it is the dialog editors responsibility to insure every syllable is understood. Dialog editing follows a different set of rules from music editing and is responsible for every sound recorded during the shoot. I have posted a couple of videos below that show how I edit dialog in independent films that are low budget, or even no-budget. If you would like to learn much more about Dialog Editing, I highly recommend this book by John Purcell.
