Writing Homework Help

ARTH 334 University of Maryland Baltimore Editing Choices in Film Discussion

 

After reviewing all the films in Week Two’s content, discuss at least 5 storytelling/narrative/plot devices or editing choices that you have seen in recent films or TV shows. How did these devices or choices help drive the story? Link those narrative techniques to the films you watched from the content this week.

For example: In Walk, – You, Walk! (1912) Rose gets the help of friends to teach someone who mistreated her a lesson. This is common plot device in today’s situation comedies.
