Disk #5 - "Fireworks Display" Editing Workshop

Scene: "Fireworks Display"
When two people talk back and forth without stopping, totally new rules of film editing apply. This disk explains the rules of (1) editing for sound, (2) locking the picture, and then (3) rolling each the picture edits to find the best visual transition. This disks clearly demonstrates how "L-Cuts" change the impact of a scene. However, this is very subtle so you will have to watch this demonstration a few times before it sinks in. Once you understand this, it is amazing! |

Disk #6 - "Hearing Voices" Editing Workshop

Scene: "Hearing Voices"
In real life, filming and editing a scene can be challenging. This is a short and simple scene but deciding how to edit it is not simple. The DVD-Video section shows how the scene can be edited three different ways... even though the audio is edited the same way for all three edited. "L-Cuts" and insert shots make the difference. |
