Premiere Pro - On-Line Assignment 1, INSTRUCTIONS

Pr Pro Discussion Assignment - Editing Analysis

 Due Wednesday, March 5th

PART 1 of 3

Watch this edit segment - at least twice. City of God - Chase the Chicken

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoNATPsOsZk

City of God (2002, Braz.) (aka Cidade de Deus)
Editor, Best Film Editing Oscar Nominee: Daniel Rezende

In my opinion, this edit segment epitomizes the expression, "The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts."  

Pay attention to the sound track, the image and sound editing techniques. i.e.:

• • jump-cuts
  • dissolves
  • cuts to black
  • speed variation
  • freeze frames
  • strobe and other visual effects
  • graphic and action matching
  • sound track variations 
  • the use of silence / percussion / SFX

Pay attention to how your reaction to the edit changes betwen the first time you watch it, and subsequent times you watch it.

Blogger MojoRisn describes it as,

"A brilliant use of jump cutting and cutting between two different sets of action. This is incredibly technical editing at it’s best. It is particularly spectacular because it is at the very start of the film, as it has to introduce the main characters."

Editing, Art and Sound

Award winning Film Editor, Walter Murch said,

“Film editing is now something almost everyone can do at a simple level and enjoy it, but to take it to a higher level requires the same dedication and persistence that any art form does”. The editing in film often goes unnoticed. However, if one does not notice the editing, then it is doing its job. The editor works on the subconscious of the viewer, and controls “the story, the music, the rhythm, the pace, shapes the actors’ performances, ‘re-directing’ and often re-writing the film during the editing process, honing the infinite possibilities of the juxtaposition of small snippets of film into a creative, coherent, cohesive whole.”  ~ Wikipedia
