Go behind the scenes of this Netflix hit with editors Matt Pevic and Denise Chan.
Editing is one of those miraculous and difficult elements of film and TV that many probably (unfortunately) overlook. And that’s because, when done well, it’s doing its job of supporting storytelling, showcasing strong performances, and keeping things moving. But like anything in this field, it’s an art.
Two talented editors, Matt Pevic and Denise Chan, lent their creative expertise to the highly anticipated Netflix series, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. With their wealth of experience and discerning eye, Pevic and Chan meticulously crafted the first two episodes of the season, leaving their creative marks on a prequel series that takes on a slightly more serious and dramatic tone than its predecessor.
We spoke with Pevic and Chan via Zoom and email in a captivating conversation that could have lasted hours, as they graciously shared their insights on the art of TV editing, the choices they made for shot selection, their collaborative process with each other and Shonda Rhimes, and the secrets of seamless storytelling.
