Document Summary
Booking parallels: a serious man and the book of job. Ideas from job expressed in asm through mise-en-scene and cinematography (the door motif) ^continuity/ discontinuity editing in spatial and temporal realms. ^groundhog day: edited in continuity style but almost edited with temporal discontinuity (the film was originally supposed to start with phil s robbery of the bank truck). Love and fear relationship with father or g-d also the relationship between valentine and his girlfriends. The christ figure is a complete outsider and falls out into the world wilson on a plane, etc - but we just thought this through editing he is actually on his way home. Bordwell-thompson: sound is the most difficult film technique to study because: 1) we ignore many sounds in our world. 2) we get most of our info about our world from sight. 3) the language for audiences of films suggests that sounds is secondary.
