Document Summary
Editing = organization of shots into sequences. Selection of shots (how it fades from one shot to the next) Transition from shot to shot (how long it takes to go from one shot to the next) The organizing of shots can in uence our sense of time, space and meaning. Creative geography (a pathway, the merging of two separate locations into one) A style of lm that realizes the world, realism, creates an illusion, allows the world to unfold. Create illusion that the camera is just objectively observing what is taking place. Film realism is as deceptive as theatrical realism. Breaks with classical style in order to emphasize the constructedness of the text. Makes us aware that this is a lm and the shots are being arranged in a certain way, which we need to make sense of. Juxtaposes images in editing to make political point clear.
