An adage in the filmaking world has it that a movie is created three times: 1) When it is written, 2) When it is shot and 3) When it is edited.

This is not strictly true. Ideally the three stages should be the work of refining a core theme or idea, the act of creation should be a single ongoing event. It's only if you are presented with footage shot by a clueless director using a poorly conceived script that you might find yourself in the unenviable situation of creating something new.

In an ideal world, if the screenwriter and director have done their jobs, the editor should simply have to tidy up what they started. So let's assume that the best situation has occurred and a director who knows what he's doing has handed you a neat pile of tapes and disks.

First log all of the footage, and I don;t mean just the bit between when the diorector shouts 'Action' and 'Cut' - watch the actors as they prepare, lookout for glances, twitches, smiles and reactions. Take a note of these.

You've done that? Now on to the next stage.

Depending on how much of a vision the director has, it should be fairly obvious where to take an edit and your first cut will be probably closest to what the director had in mind.

Even though a good director might have had the editing stage in the back of his mind while he was shooting and have a clear idea of how it will cut together, it will, in all probability, still be way too long.

Good directors love to work with actors, to encourage them to try new things and wring out the best of them. Quite often all the focus on the actors leads to a fundamental oversight; that film is a medium of moving pictures, not of dialogue.

It's now your job to ratchet it all up a gear and make it into a proper movie, rather than a series of monologues and heartfelt interchanges.

How can we do this?

A couple of years ago Apple created a stir when it introduced a new version of iMovie. The primary cry of the infuriated videographers across the world was, 'Where have all the fancy transitions gone?'

The only real answer Apple needed to give was 'Why should you care?'

In the world of editing there are two types of transitions that are of any use; the cut and the dissolve (and the dissolve should be used sparingly). This leaves us with the cut.

The cut! Ah, the cut. In the battles of the editing suite, the cut is your most powerful weapon. The cut has the power to drive a stake through your heart in a moment, take your breath away or even having falling off your seat in tears of mirth.

The cut is all powerful! Not the images either side of the cut (though these are important) the cut itself.

For in that fraction of a second, between the two images, resides a peculiar magic.

Humans have a weakness: they have an inbuilt desire for logic and meaning. This weakness the fundamental building block of films. Take two shots, any random shots - for example a zebra grazing on the savannah and a man drinking coffee in a Parisien cafe. Show these two shots back to back to an crowd.

Every member of the audience will try to make sense of the two images they have seen. An  innate paranoia kicks in and they will believe that because they are cut together, the two shots are somehow linked. Feats of mental logic will ensue as they try to form explanations for what they have just seen. And the explanations will be eminently plausible - because the audience is clever.

Even the simpler members of society are capable of watching a good film with the volume turned down and understanding what is going on. People can arrive at the cinema quarter of an hour late and still enjoy the film. People are smart when it comes to films.

With this in mind you can begin to edit in earnest. Be on the lookout for shots that can be cut together to provide depth and meaning. Rip out the five minute monologue about how much a man loved his recently departed mother and find a couple of shots; a shot of him with a tear in his eye and a gravestone. Job done.

In that brief flicker between the two shots, we (the audience) put ourselves in the man's shoes. We wonder why he is crying, and then we see a gravestone. We understand it's someone he cares for.  If we know his name we could infer from the inscription on the gravestone a relationship between them. We've all experienced loss of one type or another, and we feel empathy for the man.

Once you have your audience in the head of the protagonist, feeling empathy for him, then you are on your way to a good film.

To follow this logic to it's conclusion all films would be silent. But this would be at the expense of our sophisticated enjoyment of clever dialogue and witty repartee. These have their part to play, but must never detract from the story, only serve it.

An editor worth his salt will strike the balance between visual storytelling and clever dialogue, at all times guiding the film with the story as his pole star. Do this and you will take the audience on an adventure, tugging them along by both their heartstrings and their minds.

But you must be ruthless. Cut the idle chatter and the banal conversation, strip out the long shots of flamingoes swooping across the sun dappled bay. It may be award winning, but if it doesn't serve the story, out it goes. This may pain the director greatly, but if he's worth his salt, he will understand.

Good actors understand these things. They will replace half a page of expository dialogue with a single glance. Not all actors are this experienced, but you can help them. Work through the Slate Roll; see if there are any useful looks or glances that the actors give. See if you can work these into the story and remove extraneous dialogue. Invite the viewer to wonder what's going on inside the characters head, and provide clues by using a well-placed cut to another meaningful shot that explains or deepens the previous shot.

A compelling story is one that invites the audience in, allows them to fall between the cracks, the cuts - and immerse themselves in the action.

I first saw Star Wars when I was five years old. I didn't understand a word of it; Rebel Alliance, Traitors, Hermits, Smugglers. Most of it was meaningless.  But George Lucas showed me a story that I could relate to; a story about a boy who lost his family and wanted help rescue a Princess. He showed me a bad guy, I saw what he did and the fear in the eyes of those around him. I knew what was going on.

Lucas invited me in, let me fall into the story, helped me empathise with the main character. As an editor it is your job to do the same with every film you edit.

There are no surefire answers, no magic bullets that will work in any situation. Many things place demands on the Editor; The quality of the script, the skill of the director and the footage he has shot, the abilities of the actors and the requirements of the story and these must all be taken into account.

No matter whether you’re editing a high budget thriller or a low budget feature, the same rules apply. If you can find ways to allow the audience in, to provide opportunities for them to question, to wonder, to empathise purely from what they are seeing - then your film will become more compelling.

Buying your first Plasma or LCD TV is a big moment.  After all, this is the most popular and latest technology unit available so obviously, you want to show it off.  While you could use a nice cabinet, table, or armoire, you might also consider purchasing Plasma TV wall mounts, which are specially designed to provide excellent viewing.

Chances are you discovered a wide range of televisions while you where shopping for discount TVs and as you begin your search for Plasma or LCD TV wall mounts, you will find that these too come in numerous options.  Some people like the rotating mount that hangs from the ceiling while other people prefer a mount that is connected to the wall.  While you might be concerned about the weight of the television, these mounts are made to hold more than 150 pounds.

Just as Plasma televisions are stylish and chic, many of the Plasma TV wall mounts are just as beautiful.  Because of this, mounts can be placed in any room of the home while enhancing the overall appearance.  If you prefer, you can stick with the cabinet, table, or armoire option but just as with the mounts, it would be important to choose one that works with the room’s decorum.

It's always better to purchase the wall mount accessory from the manufacturer to insure compatablilty. Its always best to get the mount from the manufacturer of your set although there are many third party vendor mounts that should work alright.  Regardless of where the plasma screen is mounted the brackets will have to be secured to wood studs to avoid any chance of coming out.

One of the most common purchases for Plasma TV wall mounts is a single unit design, which works great and is very affordable.  This mount would hold one television but you will also find wall mounts that can hold two, three, and even four sets.  Again, we recommend you look at online options for the television, but when used in a work environment, also a mount that can accommodate screens and projectors.

After the chart busting success of Transformers, Transformers -Revenge of the Fallen is anticipated to be a bigger and better movie. All the critiques are beforehand readily applauding the movie. The fans are already calling the movie a fantastic hit.

In the sequel, there are more robots, guns, and explosions. New and exciting characters are introduced. Old ones are modified and improved. The movie is thought to be the most magnanimous movie of the year.

In the movie Casablanca just towards the end, Rick says his farewell to the girl he left behind and sends her on her way with her husband to America. After they leave, Major Strassa of the Gestapo arrives to find out that Victor Lazlo and his wife are on the plane heading for America. Strassa heads for the telephone at the airport to warn of their departure. He picks up the telephone and begins to speak into it. Rick (Humphrey Bogart) tells him to put the phone down several times. Strassa then pulls a gun on Rick but Rick shoots him first. Strassa falls slowly to the ground, still holding the receiver of the phone in his hand.

Then on TV we had the great and funny show Laugh In with Lilly Tomlin doing the bit about the rude telephone operator. She's place her call by starting off, "One ringy dingy...two ringy dingy...". And the attitude of this woman towards the people placing calls makes you laugh even more today because of how rude telephone operators of today really are. She was way ahead of her time.

John Wayne

Also known as Michael Morris and Duke Morris, John Wayne was born in 1907 and is on the American Film Institute's list of Greatest Male Stars of All Time. He began acting in silent movies in the 1920's, but his peak as an actor occurred between the 1940's and 1970's. His most identifying film genre is the western, however he was a diverse actor who also starred in romantic comedies, dramas, and biographies.

Audrey Hepburn

This famous film actress was born in 1929, and was ranked the third all-time greatest female star by The American Film Institute. She is not only known for as being one of the greatest entertainment Hollywood legends, but was also a highly acclaimed humanitarian. She served as a Goodwill Ambassador for Unicef, and was also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She starred in such films as Roman Holiday, War and Peace and Sabrina.

Of course one of the most telephone centered movies of all time was "Pillow Talk" where almost the whole movie revolved around Rock Hudson and Doris Day talking on the phone split screen to each other while in their beds, thus the title of the movie.

Yes, as much as the telephone plays a significant role in our real lives it also has played a significant role in the lives of many film characters

Replacing the standard speaker on the Television with a dedicated speaker system will make a substantial difference in the sound quality of your system, and your experience with it. It might mean anything to a soap viewer, but for gamers, movie and DVD watchers and those who se blu-ray, this could mean a world of difference. Even if you buy a really expensive TV, you won't get the same sort of sound quality possible with the speaker systems available now. Many people that buy a HD Television do so after being suitably impressed by one their neighbor's or close friend's has demonstrated theirs.

Before you hurry to buy a HD television set, ensure that you know what you are looking for and what could be your budget for the item. If you don't have a sound system, expect to pay about ten percent of the overall cost should be on decent speaker cables. External speakers will also require a decent amplifier if you want the best from them. This is also an extra cost from several hundred upwards into the thousands but warrants another article altogether.

Several aspects govern the world of speakers and there are several types available – you are considering the ratio of 5:1 and above which are 5 speakers to one sub-woofer. The speaker system has one speaker at the center followed by one left and one right surround speakers which are placed at the far front corners from the seat, and two rear speakers one right and one left. While each of these are independent but their positioning have to done in such a way that the seating place is in the center. Most AV receivers / amps can be configured however to control the volume they output at to offset the speaker location accordingly.

The sub-woofer basically creates the "oomph" in a movie so having a capable sub-woofer will enhance your movie enjoyment greatly. It brings sounds to life - it creates the small, but intensifying vibrations that we all know from watching movies at the cinema. Besides the deep bass frequencies which the sub woofers emit have a surrounding effect since they are at par or below the level of human hearing. It is difficult to decipher the source of the sound, so when there is an earthquake we feel that it is happening al around us.

Though you are free to place the sub woofer anywhere in the room, you still have to consider the size of the room, the type of flooring it has, the furnishing fabrics and the construction of the wall to get optimum output from it. Usually the perfect placement of the sub woofer is in the front portion of the room, to the right of left of the main speakers. Oftentimes it is easier and less expensive to have speakers that have been previously owned. An excellent starter choice for speakers, if its within budget is the Canton movie CD-1 (now CD-101) which has a high quality, slimline aluminium construction that makes it a real eye-catcher.
