[Spielberg] IN THE CUT: EMPLOYING THE ART OF EDITING, 180 min.The shower scene in PSYCHO. Two glamorous bank robbers' final end in BONNIE AND CLYDE. A runaway baby carriage in BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN. Lack of continuity in BREATHLESS. Chances are you first remember these master works for their editing. But when do you employ the jump cut, or avoid a reverse shot?

Thomas Ethan Harris leads this clip-based seminar where everything’s in the cut. $12 Member, $15 Student/Senior, $20 General.
