Dziga Vertov, a Ukrainian filmmaker, believed that cinematography is the foundation of the film art. Others such as David Kipen note the importance of the screenplay while Uta Hagen believes in the importance and the power of acting. This study however, aims to focus on the importance and the significance of the edit within the film industry. Books, journal articles, essays, and films have been researched in the undertaking of this hypothesis. The purpose of this literature review is to discuss the ideas of the main theorists that have influenced the direction of this dissertation.

She spent most of her time naked, retrained to a potty seat only being able to move her hands and feet day after day.

1. Piaget’s Theory: The children at this age are in the preoperational stage. This age ranges from two to seven. During the preoperational stage children tend to think and do only one thing at a time. Children in this stage are very egocentric in that they can’t see different perspectives of people around them.
