Sound-Image and Image-image Relationships

For this assignment, you will take a scene or sequence of an edited film (fiction, experimental or documentary), and examine the way it is constructed. Pick an example  where you think the editing has made a significant contribution to the storytelling and the  feel of the piece. What is the relationship of the sounds to the images? Of the images to one another? How are the shots organized in terms of their content, composition, color, movement, etc.? What determines how long the shots are and what order they are placed in? It there a “right” place to cut or not to cut? Are the cuts seamless or obvious? Is the  rhythm smooth or balky?

Once you have a sense of what is happening with the editing of the sequence, explain how this approach connects with and supports the overall goals of the film and its makers.

You should choose a short piece of media (2-3 minutes max) you can watch several times. The scene you pick should be available online so that your section leader can look at it as well. Please provide a link in your blog to the media.
