Essential Film Editing Concepts

Understanding the fundamental terminology of cinematic editing is crucial for filmmakers and film analysts. Below are key definitions covering techniques, continuity, and temporal manipulation.

1. The principle that the meaning of a shot is determined not only by the material content of the shot but also by its association with the preceding and succeeding shots is known as the Kuleshov effect.
2. Graphic match occurs when two shots are juxtaposed in a way that emphasizes their visual similarities.
3. The standard shot pattern that directors use to film conversations between two characters is the shot/reverse shot.
4. A scene edited in the Hollywood tradition often begins with an establishing shot.
5. An abrupt shift in the time

"Why?" That was Thomas Edison's favorite question from the time he learned to talk. He spent his whole life exploring why and how things work. And once he knew how something worked, he tried to figure out how to make it better.

Although he was smart and curious, he did not do well in school. In those days, students memorized facts, but he wanted to ask questions and explore.

Introduction

Did you know that in many countries medical marijuana is illegal? It has been debated for years and will likely be debated for many more. Medical marijuana should be legalized because of the many possibilities in the medical field for health reasons, additional revenue for the government and community, and its environmental sustainability.

Marijuana Used for Health Reasons

For years, marijuana has been successfully used to help people with serious health issues. Key medical applications include:

• Marijuana use can help treat and prevent the eye disease glaucoma.
• The most common reason people seek medical marijuana is for chronic pain. Marijuana alleviates pain, reduces inflammation, and promotes sleep, which may help relieve suffering.

The Pulmonary Circuit

The pulmonary circuit begins in the right ventricle where deoxygenated blood is pumped through the pulmonary artery to each lung. The artery branches, finally becoming a network of capillaries that carry deoxygenated blood to the alveoli where gas exchange occurs. After gas exchange, oxygenated blood travels through the venous capillaries, the venules, and finally the pulmonary veins to the left atrium.

The Systemic Circuit

The systemic circuit begins in the left ventricle. Oxygenated blood is pumped through the aorta to the upper and lower body. It travels through the arteries, arterioles, and finally arterial capillaries to reach the cells. There, during cellular metabolism, nutrients and oxygen are collected while carbon...
