Editing

I. Gene editing is a type of genetic modification in which DNA is altered, by a quite a few ways such as removing or replacing a defective gene from a genome. During this semester we discussed how you can have a designer baby with all of the qualities and characteristics you want edited into a DNA .In a world where gene editing would take place it would have its pros and cons. Pros being that you can modify a disease or trait from being in your human embryo. Cons being that what if you could not…

The film chosen is “Insidious 3”, a film that many of us have watch. Directed and written by Leigh Whannell. This film develops a linear narrative structure where the director tries to implement two completely different emotions to the viewer with Suspense. The anxiety brought on by a partial uncertainty as every typical horror creates “fear”. Also, the feeling of a young girl missing and trying to reach her mother who is dead. As the movie starts, the viewer probably already know what to…

Audiences have been entrapped by the spectacle of film ever since the late 19th century when moving pictures were introduced. People were amazed by scenes of everyday life, such as a train passing by or a horse galloping on a dirt path. Film never lost its popularity; film kept developing. It started with the simple scenes that were less than a minute and moved on to stories, and then non-fiction stories. Next there was sound and color, and then parallel storylines and camera movement. With each…

of the characters, but the editing style in order to truly understand the movie. The emphasis on visually exciting and realistic editing reflects specific changes or goals the Mao era had brought into China in the decades before Woman Basketball Player No. 5 was released. Continuity editing in this film attempts to eliminate the perception that a film is being watched. This echoes the sentiments behind party mandated censorship of the time period. This style of editing mimics how the…

Genetic editing is a process where DNA is inserted, replaced, or removed from a genome using artificially engineered nucleus’s, or molecular scissors. Gene editing can be used to treat diseases and to modify aspects of an organism , but there are some disadvantages to genetic editing. There is also some question to the danger and ethicalness of genetic editing done to embryos. Genetic editing in the past has cured diseases like severe combined immune deficiency , leukemia and leber's…

mise-en-scene, cinematography and editing, to tell his narrative in Death’s Marathon. I will focus on a few techniques that stood out to me as essential stylistic decisions that progressed the narrative. Firstly, the costumes and how they distinguished between characters, and events; secondly, the blocking and character movements and how they expressed emotion; thirdly, the lighting and how it distinguished between locations and guided our focus; and finally the editing and how it created…

The editing assignment was very interesting that. Our group’s goal was to make the edit as similar as possible to the original. I thought it would be the easiest way to edit, but it turned out to be much harder to do. Because of our choice, we had to constantly replay and refer to the clip and the script. I do feel like it was a shame that we did not get to use the master shot, and I think we can do a lot more if we choose to use the master shot. One of our biggest challenges was the sound.…

D.W Griffith is known to Hollywood as the father of modern editing. In 1908 He introduced new innovations such as variation of shots such as the close-up shot, the long shot and the tracking shot and the variations in the pace of the film. While Porter concentrated on making the narrative in his films better through continuity, Griffith learned how to manipulate shots in order to have a bigger dramatic impact. His techniques included scene fragmentation which involves cutting from long shots to…

millions of people each year. DNA technology researches have finally developed a gene editing tool in order to enable the cure to cancer. However, there are debates on whether genetic engineering of the human DNA is a safe course of action since the after effects are unknown. The debates against gene editing imply that it has no predictable effects on the future generations of the people while debates for gene editing imply that since this was developed it stopped tumours from growing and might…

be explored, utilising time in a unique way, like in Shane Carruth's ‘Primer' in which time-travel and all its scientific complexities are explored. With further advancements in post-production techniques, directors must no longer stick to basic editing conventions and traditionally linear sequences can be completely reordered or intentionally…
