Editing means to synchronise film with sound, by deleting, cutting and arranging pictures.

This creates meaning so shots are connected to emphasise emotion.

Montage #1: This fast-paced montage creates meaning in the ‘Odessa steps’ sequence to emphasise the drama and action as these horrific events chaotically unfold one after the other. There are usually close up shots of emotion followed by long shots of brutal action which emphasise the shock that all characters are feeling. By doing this, Eisenstein makes us sympathise with the citizens who are being attacked unmercifully by the army as if this is real footage.

Montage #2: The audience is learning that Rocky’s character is persevering and hard working as he travels long distances continuously without stopping, with his surrounding peers cheering and rooting for him which tells us he is loved by this community. He ends up on top of the stairs looking down on the city as he cheers and celebrates his achievement, still jogging on the spot which enforces how unbeatable he is.

Montage #3: Cross cutting is used to compare Rocky and Draco so the audience is reminded of Rocky’s loving personality, let alone how hard working and limit breaking he is. He is seen to be pushing his limits in the nature of Russia. Similarly to his previous training montage, the neighbourhood smiles when they see him, as he is seen to help them with tasks. Unlike Drago, Rocky’s pure soul shines through his actions, whereas Drago is placed in a clinical lab who’s peers do not root for. They judge Drago intensely and are disappointed when he fails and gives up.

Montage #4: Director Martin Scorsese uses a long take to depict the seamless events of action taking place. The protagonist is seen as outgoing, friendly and loved as this long take shows how many people are happy to see and talk to him. It makes you feel as if you are walking behind them into this setting, which takes away the reality of us being a viewer and brings verisimilitude into this world of the protagonist.

The sound editor is responsible for the creation and recording of individual sounds, such as dialogue, Foley and sound effects by either finding unique ways create sounds in the real world, or curate them synthetically.

The sound mixer is responsible for putting those sounds into the timeline and editing the sounds so that they blend together in the film and narrative. The mixer creates a soundscape with these sounds the adds a certain effect to each scene.

A needle drop is where a pre-existing song that the spectator will possibly know plays during a scene from the start, which is used because it can create a heightened, most likely excited mood within the spectator as the song becomes the highlight of the scene and takes control.

Foley sound can be used in films to create effects that would either be too difficult or too noticeable to digitally create. An example of this would be recording the sound of footsteps separately to the sound from the footage to bring out the footsteps and make them more prominent in a scene.

A Sound editor is someone who is responsible for the finished sound in movies and television.

A Sound mixer is someone who mixes, balances and combines different sounds and audio signals, such as pre-recorded audio.

Supervising sound editors are responsible for the finished sound in movies and television shows, whereas a sound mixer mixes all the sounds into the perfect splice for on screen and creates the soundscape.
