Learn the various ways in which an editor can manipulate time by using cut-ins, cut-aways, parallel action & other useful time-reducing techniques. Film making almost always involves the compression of time. Here a simple example (changing a tire) is used to show the pros and cons of basic time reduction techniques including camera movement, jump cuts, exits, entrances, cutaways, parallel action and visual effects. Directors will learn how to plan coverage to provide their editor with maximum flexibility. Complete rushes for the sequence are provided so that students can create their own edited version.
