Editing Scent of a Woman (1992 film) (section)

===Research===
Pacino painstakingly researched his part in ''Scent of a Woman''. To understand what it feels like to be blind, he met clients of New York's Associated Blind, being particularly interested in accounts by those who had lost their sight due to trauma. Clients traced the entire progression for him—from the moment when they knew that they would never see again to the depression and through to acceptance and adjustment. The [[Lighthouse Guild|Lighthouse]], an advocacy group for the blind also in New York, schooled him in techniques that a vision impaired person might use to find a chair and seat themselves, pour liquid from a bottle, and light a cigar.<ref name="2006 UK DVD">{{Cite AV media |title=Scent of a Woman |date=2006 |last=Brest, Martin (director) |type=DVD |publisher=[[Universal Pictures|Universal Pictures (UK)]] |place=United Kingdom |chapter=Production notes}}</ref>
