'cinematographer's editing out of campaigner would the director have done this' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'a scene again?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'scene' could be 'shot' ('shot' can be a synonym of 'scene') and 'shot' is found in the answer.
'again?' could be 're' and 're' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'making' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
