Editing

To manipulate one’s audience, one must “give them pleasure. The same pleasure they have when they wake up from a nightmare.” Award-winning director, Christopher Nolan clearly portrays this in his films through his trademark directorial style of editing with specific use of non-linear narrative and mise en scene to create tension for his audience Through closely analysing the open scenes of Nolan’s Memento (2000) and Inception (2010), the audience can understand Nolan’s directorial style and the…

NYC Ladders for Leaders will allow me to work with multiple types of engineers to build and modify projects for my potential employers and experienced managers. The internship will introduce me to my senior year Capstone courses, in which engineers work together to create devices, based on the projects provided by their teachers and mentors. I hope the program will give me experience for my digital media art minor and computer engineering major. I know the program the skills obtained from the…

Neo-realism was a movement that was significant in Italy in the wake of the Second World War, as filmmakers sought to break away from the propagandistic cinematic traditions that had dominated the Italian film industry under Mussolini’s fascist rule. This movement ‘saw several filmmakers aiming to reveal contemporary social conditions’ (Bordwell and Thompson, 2012: 483 – 484) and in Bicycle Thieves (1948) specifically, De Sica focuses on the issue of the rising unemployment and poverty in…

The theme and the message of artistic art forms are largely at the mercy of the various perceptions that individuals have about them as no two individual perceptions are completely alike. This notion is especially evident when reviewing and interpreting the ideas of classical film theorists and their opinions on the purpose of what the unique art form of film is meant to be, and what methods should be used in order to achieve that purpose. This contrasting difference across different realms of…

human cardiac cells without any pathogenic effect and therefore, they are used commonly to insert genes into cells. Cas9 or CRISPR associated protein is a protein that acts as the molecular scissor and cut the DNA in the desired site and thereby editing the gene. The DNA is not withered away rather it gets repair by our cells. During the repairing process some nuclear base are added (inserted) or deleted or gets exchange with a nuclear base that suddenly ends a protein translation. This…

With the advancements made in technology daily and new scientific studies and explorations, the science community is always on the brink of something big. And the next big thing might be designer babies. Deeper and more profound exploration into cells and genetics have allowed for the possibility of designer babies to emerge. Before creating designer babies was even an idea, scientists were first working towards sequencing the human genome. By sequencing the human genome, scientists will be able…

had the privilege of speaking with the owner of a local publishing company who was in need of an intern editor. That opportunity gave me a passion for helping authors achieve their dreams of publication. A large part of furthering my career in copy editing is to complete college. My experience as a copy editor will facilitate my academic work and ensure the completion of my goal to earn a communications degree at Colorado Christian University. My position…

malnourished chicken suggests that the film is shot in a poorer area of the world. Close up shots are used in order to show fear within the chicken (Fig 9). The first minute or so of the film is made up of entirely close ups this combined with fast paced editing and audio creates a thrilling experience. The sequence uses a wide range of shots to keep the story flowing, the use of close ups of the antagonist laughing (fig 10) signifies a character we relate too as evil. The proxemics of the film…

The Editing of a People’s Story Throughout Beowulf and “The Seafarer” religious references can be seen, both of Anglo Saxon and Christian origins. The changeover from use of the Anglo Saxon deity, “Wyrd” to the Christian word “God” within the pieces illustrates the influence on literature by the wave of re christianization. Most of the influence is seen in the translation of Beowulf, which was by the Christian monk. The change of the word Wyrd to the word God, in a way stripped the Anglo Saxons…

recording itself. The sound effect becomes more vital than the dialogue. Walter Murch later went on to get his first academy award nomination with this gem. His techniques are genius. Here are some of his techniques to sound editing Walter Murch’s Techniques to Effective Sound Editing 1. Story Does the film move the story forward in a significant way? Each cut you make needs to progress with the story. Don’t let the edit become stuck in subplot. If the scene isn’t advancing the story, cut it.…
