I would argue that your point of focus, the thing you are aware of, is actually an edit of sorts. For example, say you are looking for someone in a large crowd of people. When you first arrive, you see the whole crowd, but then you start to focus on individuals until you find the one you are looking for.
This is similar to the establishing shot followed by a medium shot, yet you have not physically moved, nor have you changed your lens (unless you are using binoculars). What you have done is focused on an area, tuning out the rest. Just as we do with sound.
At that instant of finding who you are looking for, you wouldn't be able to describe what was happening 15 feet away even though it was in your field of view.
So, using attention, we are editing all day long.
