	Film editing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Film editing is the connecting of one or more shots together in a sequence.
		Film editing evolved from the process of physically cutting and taping together pieces of film, using a viewer such as a Moviola or Steenbeck to look at the results.
		In recent years, 'film editing' has come to mean what a 'film editor' does, even though the work involved is now generally performed on a computer-based non-linear editing system, such as Avid, Lightworks or Apple's Final Cut Pro and, at the semi-professional level, by programs such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Pinnacle Edition.

	Film Report One Examples
		This dramatic film is a modern day film noir that utilizes the methods of the classical film noirs of post World War II era as well as creating new variations of the film noir genre.
		French film critics, in an effort to classify this deviant and notorious style of movie, came up with the genre "film noir." This French term translates into "fl film." The distinguishing characteristic of this category is that it is dark; French critics noticed how dark and fl the appearances and issues were of these films.
		Most of the early films in film noir were done in fl and white to accent this effect, although a gloomy and murky setting can be presented efficiently in color.

	Film noir and the German-Hollywood Connection
		In film noir, events often occur in the dark of night, and the characters also tend to have their dark side.
		Despite many variations, most film noir heroes/villains are paranoid loners headed for some dark destiny, but who nevertheless manage to exchange a few snappy lines of dialog with the inevitable femme fatale along the way.
		Purists claim that “true” film noir can't be in color, which would exclude almost all of the neo-noir films from the 1960s to the present.

		Ideal for film production and directing classes, as well as for professionals with sights on the director's chair, Directing covers all stages of production, from idea development to final cut.
		He dispels the myth that film directing is that illustrious, far-away, somehow unobtainable form of "magic."

The point here is NOT to create a masterpiece the first time out.

	Examining Film Scoring Techniques in Films that Alter Space, Time and Death (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		A third major compositional technique employed by Horner is the use of figures that outline a natural minor scale in the lower voice of a piano against the backdrop of a synthetically generated texture to help create the misty, evening sound of some of the scenes in the film.
		Though the techniques Horner uses (incorporation of electronic instruments with traditional orchestra, and so on) to achieve a musical characterization for the film are not new, these same techniques have not been employed to the same level of effectiveness across a wide number of films.
		Though the premise of the film and the method of altering time used in the film are relatively original, a drastically unconventional approach to scoring the film would have distracted from the romance at the heart of the story and the picture.

	Film Narrative Techniques: Flight and Pursuit
		The narrative pattern of the film is simple, with the action falling under three basic spatial groupings which range from Chicago, to the train, and finally to Florida.
		The sexual confusion of the central section of the film is resolved by the reinstitution of cear-cut sexual differences, in the form of the excessively masculine gangsters, who, unlike Osgood, see through Joe's and Jerry's masquerades.
		Yet the film suggests that their stereotypical male sexuality is inadequate, much as is that of Sugar's ideal man, who she envisions as "gentle, sweet, and helpless." Sugar's ideal proves to be pure fantasy, and she is ultimately forced to recognize and give in to her irrational desire for tenor saxophone players (Joe).
