Description: the editor of a film is responsible for the speed and duration of camera shots in post-production. They also craft meaning in a film product through the order or montage of the camera shots. Editors work in close proximity with directors to ensure that the editing creates the intended meaning of the film; this could be achieved by using the correct type of montage or through the use of the kuleshov effect; an editing technique developed by soviet filmmaker Lev Kuleshov, in which the audience can derive meaning from the interaction of two usually reaction shots juxtaposed with a different shot between the two.

Inspirational Professional: I find lots of inspiration in the works of Australian film editor Lee Smith as of his heavy additions to many of Christopher Nolan’s most notable works, e.g. ‘Dunkirk’, ‘Interstellar’ and ‘Inception’. His usage of rhythmic montages in Nolan’s films adds another layer of the theme of ‘time’, reminding the audience of the importance of this theme on the overall narratives. Smith also utilises intellectual montages which adds a second layer of meaning to the finished film.

Explain why the number of cinema screens have declined over the years and what you think the implications are for the film industry in general?

Cinema screens have been in gradual decline since the 60’s as a result of TV’s being introduced into the home setting; this meant there was less demand for cinemas as people could receive a similar experience from the comfort of their homes. I also believe the decline of cinemas in general is down to the privatisation of the cinema business, as now we have one large corporation (Cineworld) controlling all public cinema screens.
