H68.2101.901       2 Credits

Since coverage and editing are inherently related, it is important to identify those kinds of shots that will be necessary in order to edit a specific scene. The lectures will cover various uses of the 180-degree line, eyelines, and screen direction, as they pertain to the editor. Clips used in lecture will concentrate primarily on dialogue scenes, but will also include action sequences. Each student will be required to submit a short paper describing the design of his or her film in regards to the eventual editing style. Additional sections of the same course (H68.2101.902, .903, etc.) may be offered.
