How does editing create a variety of functions that help develop a film’s mise en scène?
Be sure to use specific details you’ve learned in Understanding Movies. You must cite at least two scenes for full credit. If you don’t cite Giannetti to support your arguments, you will not get full credit.

You must include an abstract between the title page and body.

Do not use terms like “personally,” “I think,” “I feel.” Treat reflections as if they were very short essays. You’re not writing a review of these films, therefore do not share how these films impressed you; don’t refer to the “gorgeous cinematography” or “incredible acting.” Avoid a casual, chatty, gossipy tone.
