Q

editor?

A

dede allen

40
Q

what auteur style did dede allen have?

A

it was unlike old hollywood- breaking the rule book.

its called her cutting style.

this is because it favoured jump cuts and close ups in the middle of a scene to move the narrative forward - pioneered film/pacing

41
Q

how did dede allen edit when considering the sound? any examples?

A

she used sound from previous scene while editing the next scene to keep the narrative moving/increase tension

can be seen in moments where the sound of gunfire or tense dialogue carries over

e.g. Instead of just switching scenes abruptly, she made the sounds from one scene flow into the next. So, if there was a loud noise like gunfire in one scene, you might still hear it faintly as the next scene started.
OR
when clyde was talking, it looked like a voiceover as while he was talking there were jumpcuts to people being scared. so he was still talking (sound from previous scene) while something else was being filmed (put into the new scene)

remember the difference between scene and sequence!

46

warren beatty encouraged jack to stump up cash for bonnie and clyde- due to beatty’s star power and ‘homage’ to 1940s warner brother gangster flicks
