Week 12 Reading & Assignment

 

Lucky! There is no additional reading this week.

 

 

 

 

 

You are required to find a copy of the film Cold Mountain (2003) and watch it before next week.  This film was edited by author of the book we just completed, Walter Murch, and was one of the very first films to be edited on Final Cut Pro for major distribution.  It is not only a terrific film, but important in the history of digital editing.

Next week, we will have a separate discussion about the film.
