Im hoping to give them a little more than that.
Right now I'm thinking we do an hour on basics...
What is a montage. What is editing. The 180 degree rule. Look at how a standard talking scene is edited.
Then compare Birth of a Nation, Psycho shower scene, The Chinese Connection Car Chase, Jurassic Park T-Rex chase, The Matrix as different ways editing effects thing. Maybe have them tick off the number of cuts in each sequence.
Second hour is about film history and genre. Basically just watching clips identifying Noir, the adventure serial, more Hitchcock, Casablanca (OR COURSE!) The American Musical, American Western, Spaggetti Western, some Kubrik, some Star Wars.
Still just thinking out loud.
