{"product_id":"film-editing-9781903364536","title":"Film Editing","description":"\u003ci\u003eFilm Editing\u003c\/i\u003e provides an introduction to the craft of editing in the non-silent film. In clear and accessible language, Valerie Orpen considers editing as an expressive strategy rather than a mere technique. She reveals that editing can be approached and studied in a similar way to other aspects of film. Traditionally, studies on editing or montage tend to focus on silent cinema, yet this book claims that an examination of editing should also consider the role of the soundtrack. The aim of \u003ci\u003eFilm Editing\u003c\/i\u003e is to examine the way in which editing can make meaning. The book addresses editing as part of a wider context and as a crucial element of the overarching design and vision of a film. Consequently, this book incorporates other parameters, such as mise-en-scène, framing, sound, genre, history, and performance. By examining a number of mainstream and art films, such as Godard's \u003ci\u003eA bout de souffle\u003c\/i\u003e, Hitchcock's \u003ci\u003eRear Window\u003c\/i\u003e, and Scorsese's \u003ci\u003eRaging Bull, Film Editing\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to dispel the notion that editing is necessarily polarized as continuity versus discontinuity.","brand":"Valerie Orpen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42980494966902,"sku":"9781903364536","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/1374\/6550\/files\/CoreSourceHub_d1cea1f0-b771-43e5-87f7-1ae816ded601.jpg?v=1768560166","url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/film-editing-9781903364536","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
