Interviewer: Is film editing a complicated job?
Film Editor: Oh yes, a lot of people probably don't know how complicated a job it can be. It's far more than just sticking pieces of film together.
Interviewer: How long does it take to edit a film?
Film Editor: Well, it depends. You can probably expect to edit a 10-minute film in about a week. A 35-minute documentary, like the one I'm editing at prent, takes a minimum of four to five weeks to edit.
Interviewer: Can you explain to me how film editing works?
Film Editor: There are different steps. 'Synching up', for example.
Interviewer: What do you mean by synching up?
Film Editor: It means matching sound and pictures and that is usually done by my assistant. The film a
nd the sound tape have numbers stamped along the edge which have to be matched. The details of the film and the sound are also recorded in a log book, so it's quick and easy to find a particular take and its soundtrack. This operation is called logging and is again done by my assistant.
Interviewer: So what do you usually do yourlf?
Film Editor: A lot of things, of cour. First, I have to view all the material to make a first lection of the best takes. There's a lot of film to look through becau to make a quence work the way you want, you need a lot of shots to choo from. Interviewer: Does that mean that you have to discard quences?
Film Editor: Oh yes. On average for every foot of edited film, you need twelve times as much unedited film and therefore you have to compromi and, of cour, discard some of it.

Interviewer: What do you do after lecting the material?
Film Editor: First of all, I prepare an initial version of the film, a 'rough cut' as it is called. That means that I actually cut the film into pieces and stick them together again in the new order.

Interviewer: And after this 'rough cut' what happens?
Film Editor: Well, after the 'rough cut' comes the 'fine cut' when the film takes its final form. The producer and the director come in for a viewing. Some small changes may then be necessary, but when the 'fine cut' has been approved by everyone, this is the final version of the film.
Interviewer: At this point is the film ready for distribution?
Film Editor: Oh no. After the final version of the film has been approved, there is the dubbing, there are voices, music, background nois and sometimes special effects to be put together for the soundtrack. And after the dubbing, the edited film is nt to the 'neg' cutters.
Interviewer: What do the 'neg' cutters do?
Film Editor: They cut the original negatives on the films, so that the match the edited film exactly. And after all that comes the best part—I can sit down quietly with my feet up and enjoy watching the film!
Man: Hi.
Woman: Hi.
Man: What'd you do last night?
Woman: I watched TV. There was a really good movie called Soylent Green.
Man: Soylent Green?
Woman: Yeah. Charlton Heston was in it.腊八蒜怎么腌
Man: What's it about?
Woman: Oh, it's about life in New York in the year 2022.
Man: I wonder if New York will still be here in 2022.
Woman: In this movie, in 2022 ...
Man: Yeah?
大象哥Woman: ... New York has forty million people.
Man: Ouch!
Woman: And twenty million of them are unemployed.
Man: How many people live in New York now? About ven or eight million?
Woman: Yeah, I think that's right.
Man: Mm-hmm. You know, if it's hard enough to find an apartment now in New York City, what's it going to be like in 2022?
Woman: Well, in this movie most people have no apartment. So thousands sleep on the steps of buildings. (Uh-huh.) People who do have a place to live have to crawl over sleeping people to get inside. And there are shortages of everything. The soil is so polluted that nothing will grow. (Ooo.) And the air is so polluted they never e the sun. It's really awful.
Man: I think I'm going to avoid going to New York City in the year 2022.
Woman: And there was this scene where the star, Charlton Heston, goes into a hou where some very rich people live.
Man: Uh-huh.
Woman: He can't believe it, becau they have running water and they have soap.
Man: Really?
Woman: And then he goes into the kitchen and they have tomatoes and lettuce and beef. He almost cries becau he's never en real food in his life, you know, especially the beef. It was amazing for him.
Man: Well, if most people have no real food, what do they eat?
Woman: They eat something called soylent.
Man: Soylent?
Woman: Yeah. There's soylent red and soylent yellow and soylent green. The first two are made out of soybeans. But the soylent green is made out of ocean plants. (Ugh.) The people eat it like crackers. That's all they have to eat.

Man: That sounds disgusting.
Woman: Well, you know, it really isn't that far from reality.
Man: No?
Woman: Yeah. Becau, you know the greenhou effect that's beginning now and heating up the earth ...
Man: Oh, yeah, I've heard about that.
老虎简笔画可爱Woman: ... becau we're putting the pollutants in the atmosphere, you know?
海螺怎么画
Man: Mm-hmm.
Woman: I mean, in this movie New York has ninety degrees weather all year long. And it could really happen. Uh ... like now, we ... we have fuel shortages. And in the movie there's so little electricity that people have to ride bicycles to make it. Man: You know something? I don't think that movie is a true prediction of the future.
Woman: I don't know. It scares me. I think it might be.
Man: Really?
Woman: Well, yeah.
The native Americans, the people we call the 'Indians', had been in America for many thousands of years before Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492. Columbus thought he had arrived in India, so he called the native people 'Indians'. The Indians were kind to the early ttlers. They were not afraid of them and they wanted to help them. They showed the ttlers the new world around them; they taught them about the local crops like sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts; they introduced the Europeans to chocolate and to the turkey; and the Europeans did business with the Indians. But soon the ttlers wanted bigger farms and more land for themlves and their families. More and more immigrants were coming from Europe and all the people needed land. So the Europeans started to take the land from the Indians. The Indians had to move back into the centre of the continent becau the ttlers were taking all their land. The Indians couldn't understand this. They had a very different idea of land from the Europeans. For the Indians, the land, the earth, was their mother. Everything came from their mother, the land, and everything went back to it. The land was for everyone and it was impossible for one man to own it. How could the White Man divide the earth into parts? How could he put fences round it, buy it and ll it? Naturally, when the White Man started taking all the Indians' land, the Indians started fighting back. They wanted to keep their land, they wanted to stop the White Man taking it all for himlf. But the White Man was stronger and cleverer. Slowly he pushed the Indians into tho parts of the continent that he didn't want—the part
s where it was too cold or too dry or too mountainous to live comfortably. By 1875 the Indians had lost the fight: they were living in special places called 'rervations'. But even here the White Man took land from them—perhaps he wanted the wood, or perhaps the land had important minerals in it, or he even wanted to make national parks there. So even on their rervations the Indians were not safe from the White Man. There are many Hollywood films about the fight between the Indians and the White Man. Usually in the films the Indians are bad and the White Man is good and brave. But was it really li k e t h a t ? W h a t d o y o u t h i n k ?
