Editing is a part of post-production in creating a video or a film. It is the important part to create a sequence. On the production phase, the scene of the film were taken one by one but it not taken accordingly, it is editor's job to combine this scene together to make this film accordingly as shown in storyboard and script. Each take can contain extra notes from the director or the cinematographer. This is the first time the editor sees the film, and since it is shot out of sequence, it is out of context of the story. A good editor views the rushes and looks for fluidity of movement and nuances that will later be incorporated into the film. Editing process have it own process to make the editing process easier.

Ron Howard’s, The Missing, is a Western about a medicine woman who works with her estranged father to save her daughter, who has been kidnapped by an Apache brujo. This father, Samuel Jones, came back home to make amends with his daughter, Magdalena, but when Lilly, Maggie’s daughter, is kidnapped, they are forced to work together to save her.

Early films by Edison and Lumiere involved very simple cinematography, little to no editing and simple realist mise en scene. However, Georges Melies, a theater proprietor and an amateur magician, laid foundation for the new generation films. In A Voyage to the Moon, he becomes first person to introduce a sci-fi film. In this paper I hypothesize that A Voyage to the Moon was most innovative in cinematography and editing. Although mise en-scene was the main focus of the film, I hypothesize that mise en scene wasn’t as innovative as the other two.
This essay will discuss the uses, strategies and the meanings that are generated by editing in cinema. The films that this essay will be focusing on are Psycho and Singin’ in the Rain. Both of these films are very different to each other and therefore use editing in varying ways in order to give the audience a different perception of the characters as well as the setting that these characters are involved in. Psycho focuses on building suspense for the audience throughout the film using editing, camera work and sound. This essay will be primarily focusing on editing with the discussion of camerawork where relevant.
The Shawshank Redemption is a cinematographic film that was directed by Frank Darabont and released in the year 1994. The film takes into prospect and delves into a contagious view of hope, and how it is considered one of the strongest influences there are. Ellis Boyd Redding, a dynamic protagonist in The Shawshank Redemption once said that hope “is a dangerous thing.” The values placed in hope shape the belief in that one day the incarcerated heroes would leave the prison and return to an adjusted society. Hope can inspire, and deliver a message to shape the perspective of an individual being; societies, collectives and individuals look towards a brighter path of fate--a destiny that could one day become a reality. The rock hammer for example, was an item that was forged with false hope and humour that was procured in the beginning of the film by Red, as a
“I believe whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you stranger” (The Dark Knight, 2008), this is the stand out sentence that the main antagonist, The Joker (Heath Ledger) speaks in the opening scene of the movie. Not only does this line set up the suspense for the rest of the movie but it also sets up the suspense for the opening scene of the movie. ‘The Dark Knight’ is a film directed by Christopher Nolan that builds suspense and intrigue throughout the movie, the director uses mise-en-scene, mise-en-shot and editing to put a seed of meaning for the viewer to draw from.

Mildred Pierce” meets many on the list of criteria to be deemed Film Noir genre. For instance, the schematics of the film are the basic black and white, which suits the time period of 1934. There was a strong usage of shadow photography that was used prominent throughout the film. Crime and suspense are the subgenre, which is another defining characteristic. Flashbacks were used sporadically to give reference to transpiring events of the murder. The third person narration, contributed to an unbiased perspective of what and how the events occurred. The banter was expressed a great deal of times between Mildred and Veda, as well as Mildred and her husband. The banter ranged from short, calm and collected to complete physical contact. The Femme Fatale was represented by the character Veda. She was the innocent sweetheart initially, but had an alter ego as a murderer. Veda was misconceiving to both Mildred and Monte, and as she aged became an opportunist. During the investigation of the murder, she would rather use her mother as a scapegoat, instead of taking the responsibility for her actions. Her mother gave her everything she desired, but still she wanted more. A prime example is when she faked her pregnancy to scam money from her “husband”. Veda was merely concerned about money, and how to obtain more of it. Money was her sense of happiness, and contributed to power.

In my own personal experience I have tried to make lists for myself at work and complete one task at a time, but I found that I end up spending more time on certain things than others. I now do a lot of multitasking in the office which helps me get the quick and easy things out of the way.
Baz Luhrmann is widely acknowledged for his Red Curtain Trilogy which are films aimed at heightening an artificial nature and for engaging the audience. Through an examination of the films Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge and The Great Gatsby, the evolution and adaptation of his techniques become evident. Luhrmann’s belief in a ‘theatrical cinema’ can be observed to varying degrees through the three films and his choice to employ cinematic techniques such as self-reflexivity, pastiche and hyperbolic hyperbole.
Baz Luhrmann’s films are known their ability to make a watcher feel as if they are part of the show. Between his use of camera angles, shots and the use of a narrator, it’s no wonder he is able to keep viewers on the edge of their seat. But how does Baz Luhrmann pull off this spectacular feat of his? This is probably explained best by referring to Baz Luhrmann’s films and how he himself has evolved as a director.
