"editing as a more or less neutral device designed to communicate most
efficiently and clearly an idea that exists apart from the editing, or a mise-en-
scene that already embodies meaning and which thus just needs to be made
available to the viewer"
i'm with catalin on this one - it's never neutral. many times i have used
continuity editing to control, alter, repair or restore mise-en-scene. a crude
analogous comparison may be drawn to lighting in the theatre. certainly all the
elements are on the stage but you are certainly never neutrally displaying
those elements by lighting them.
