Editing sample

BONNIE AND CLYDE and THE CONFORMIST

THE INFLUENCE OF an American film, Bonnie and Clyde (Arthur Penn, 1967) on the assassination scene in The Conformist (Bernardo Bertolucci, 1970) seems evident in the editing of Bertolucci's sequence, which seems modeled on the final shootout in Bonnie and Clyde (seen here), edited by Dede Allen.
The Bonnie and Clyde sequence seems far better edited, with greater impact in the silent shots. The rhythm of the editing (length of shots, length of shot to content of shot, content of shot in relation to the soundtrack, slow motion within the shot) is more effective. A console of this sequence is below.

FREE MUSIC ACCESS

To All Students,
    According to what I understand, all students with a university IP address can access free of charge the Naxos Music Catalogue, mostly classical music, some film music, and some Easy Listening and Jazz included.
    The link is here. There's a search engine included, so you can type the name of a piece or a composer (for example: "Bach Cello Suites," and you'll get all of Bach's cello suites).
    As you can see, I searched for Tomasso Albinoni's famous Adagio for Strings and Organ and simply typed in "Albinoni adagio" and found it.
    This is a great way to a get a musical education. But don't forget, until the summer, school work comes first.
