"Film Editing" provides an introduction to the craft of editing in the non-silent film. In clear and accessible language, Valerie Orpen considers editing as an expressive strategy rather than a mere technique. She reveals that editing can be approached and studied in a similar way to other aspects of film. Traditionally, studies on editing or montage tend to focus on silent cinema, yet this book claims that an examination of editing should also consider the role of the soundtrack. The aim of "Film Editing" is to examine the way in which editing can make meaning. The book addresses editing as part of a wider context and as a crucial element of the overarching design and vision of a film. Consequently, this book incorporates other parameters, such as mise-en-sc?ne, framing, sound, genre, history, and performance. By examining a number of mainstream and art films, such as Godard's "A bout de souffle," Hitchcock's "Rear Window," and Scorsese's "Raging Bull, Film Editing" seeks to dispel the notion that editing is necessarily polarized as continuity versus discontinuity.

Wenner - Maskew Miller Longman 2014 Letterkundeprys. BFF deur Cecilia du Toit is die Afrikaanse wenner van Maskew Miller Longman se Letterkunde-kompetisie in 2014. Dis 'n heerlike eietydse drama oor vier vriendinne wat desperaat op soek is na metgeselle vir die Graad 11 bal, en nie juis soos BFF (Best Friends Forever) teenoor mekaar optree nie. Een van die vier besluit om vir die ander 'n les in lojaliteit te leer, en span 'n Facebook-hartebreker in om haar plan deur te voer. Die toneelstuk verwys tong-in-die-kies na die mite van Pygmalion wat vir homself 'n vrou skep, en na Frankenstein wat 'n monster maak om sy wraakplanne uit te voer. Deon Opperman, bekende dramaturg en vanjaar beoordelaar van die Letterkunde-kompetisie, se die volgende oor BFF: Die karakters is juis, eg en uniek.; Die dialoog is kraakvars, geloofwaardig en uiters vermaaklik.; Die stuk bied baie interessante moontlikhede vir opvoering op die verhoog.; Die teks is relevant vir 'n tienerleser en 'n gehoor.; 'n Mens kan baie by die karakters leer; tog is daar nooit die gevoel van 'n preek wat afgesteek word nie. Four friends are desperately looking for dates for the Grade 11 ball and do not exactly act like BFF's (Best Friends Forever) to each other. One of the four friends decides to teach the other a lesson in loyalty and gets a Facebook heartbreaker to help her carry out her plan.
