Editing (Lesson Four).   The following assignments will give you a good understanding of the concept of editing in film studies.  (Note that Quiz 3 is due next week, and includes learning from this week and next; this third quiz will offer you two chances, but the scores will be averaged.)  Here are the learning activities for this week:

(1) Read Giannetti Chapter Four, "Editing."  Also, read through part of Giannetti's Chapter Twelve ("Synthesis") that analyzes editing in Citizen Kane.
(2) Read the Weblecture on Film Editing ("Editing: Manipulation of Time and Space"). 
(3) Screen one of the films on the "Lesson Four Film List - Editing" below. 
You are expected to complete the screening before participating in this week's forum.  Take notes on this movie for future reference (e.g., on the Unit One Writing Quiz).
(4) Read through the postings and replies that you have not yet read in previous discussion forums
(5) Participate fully in the Movement and Editing Discussion Forum, sending your assignment in by Thursday evening and your replies by Sunday evening.  Read through your classmates' postings and replies both before and after you post.

Enjoy these learning activities, Cybermates!  If you need technical assistance about how to use Moodle or the MiraCosta Website, go to the Technical Requirements page or the Student Help Desk.  Remember we want your CyberCinema experience to be both pleasant and productive!  This is an exciting and worthwhile course of study, and I am very happy to be working with you. top
