Vsevold Pudovkin was a Russian Soviet director, actor and screenwriter. He was on of the great innovators, he taught be the father of Soviet cinema Lev Kuleshov. He called to fight in World War 1 whilst studying engineering at Moscow. After escaping the Germans captivity he was 25 when returned to Russia he started studying Chemistry and physics but after seeing D.W. Griffiths film “ Intolerance” he was inspired to follow film. He applied to the Sate Institute of Cinematography at Moscow in 1919. However in 1919 film was still a very young art form and ideas and techniques that are commonplace today were just being developed at that time. Pudovkin most influential role in the world cinema was his theories on editing. He recorded that editing is an aspect of film art form, which completely different compared to other forms of art. He believed editing shots together in a film is unlike anything else in written works, music, painting or still photography. He also noted that editing is not merely a way to bring together the shots that make up a scene but rather a method of manipulate the audience by guiding the thoughts and emotional response of the viewer. It could create visual metaphors and a way of suggesting a relationship between two apparent unrelated shots, sounds similar to Lev Kuleshov effect. He even so far as to say that the emotional content of a scene comes more from proper editing technique that it does from the performance of the actor.” Editing is not merely a method of the junction of spate scenes or pieces, but is a method that controls the “ psychological guidance” of the spectator.”
Vsevolod Pudovkin described shots as the premises that can be used to construct a scene; he built linkage rather than conflict in a...

The innovative theories and filmmaking techniques of Dziga Vertov revolutionized the way films are made today. Man With a Movie Camera (1929), a documentary that represented the peak of the Soviet avant-garde film movement in the twenties, displayed techniques in montage, creative camera angles, rich imagery, but most importantly allowed him to express his theories of his writings of Kino-eye (the camera). The film has a very simple plot that describes an average day in Russia, yet the final pieces of this film emerge a complex and fast-paced production that excites the audience. Vertov's ability to use radical editing techniques with unconventional filming to present ordinary things has inspired many directors around the world. And still now modern avant-garde movies apply many of these same techniques to dramatize simple and complex stories.
Another revision technique that was suggested was “sentence outlining” which involves summarizing each paragraph of a writing into one overarching sentence in order to improve the cohesion of the piece (Harris 450). Introducing these techniques can allow readers to utilize revision in their own writing and form their own stance on its effectiveness. With revising the conclusion of a piece, Harris’ advise is to look ahead rather than to rephrase what has already been stated (Harris 454). Revision is expected to extend beyond the piece.

The essay “Revising” by Joseph Harris outlines the importance of revision in the processes of writing any composition. In his words, revising is “rethinking, refining, and developing” the ideas and approach used in one's writing. Despite the importance of revision, the processes is often obscure to inexperienced writers because it is not immediately visible in a finished work. This makes it easy to believe that the final product is the result of a single draft rather than a long sequence of revisions.
was born on September 14, 1849 in the village of Ryazan, Russia, the son of Peter Dmitrievich Pavlov, who was the village priest. Because he was the son of a priest he went to church school and enrolled in a theology seminar. As the son of a preacher Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was going to follow in his father’s footsteps, that was until he read a book by Charles Darwin called “The Origin of Species” After reading this book Ivan Pavlov dropped out of his theological studies and enrolled in a Natural Science program in the University of St-Petersburg.
In order to produce a piece of well-rounded writing, it is a known fact that every author must be able to assemble, grease, and apply the many moving pieces of literacy throughout his work. These tasks, while being vital, do not at all necessitate that a particular technique or procedure be followed for their completion. Thankfully, writers are free to use their own methods to invent, revise, and discover. Speaking for myself, I certainly have my own writing method.

As an audience we are manipulated from the moment a film begins. In this essay I wish to explore how The Conversation’s use of sound design has directly controlled our perceptions and emotional responses as well as how it can change the meaning of the image. I would also like to discover how the soundtrack guides the audience’s attention with the use of diegetic and nondiegetic sounds.

The technique of establishing the rhythm and the emotion of characters in a film is the conceptual tenor of Editing. It is appraised as the final stage of filmmaking that is considered to be a hidden art, an under-appreciated art. The literal interpretation inside a script is perceived through assembling the story in rhythmic format itself is an aesthetic art that becomes invisible.

The Man with a Movie Camera is a visual glorification of Soviet life. Vertov sought to communicate communist ideals by showing images of life in Soviet society, using the principles of montage to create meaning across what would normally be unrelated imagery. In the beginning titles of the film, Vertov asserts “This experimental work aims at creating a truly international absolute language of cinema based on its total separation from the language of theater and literature.” The Man with a Movie Camera represents Vertov’s ultimate vision for film, which would be distinctly socialist in both form and content. The Man with a Movie Camera one can most effectively show the way that both individual scenes, and the work as a whole, create historical revisionism in regards to the early Soviet Union.
Two of the most influential approaches to teaching writing are product and process approaches. In the product approach, writing is seen as a final product and, thus, the evaluation is limited to this product. However, this approach has been mostly ineffective, because improvement of the final product depends on improving the process through which the writer produces the product (Chastain, 1998). In the process approach, however, writing is considered a “non-linear, exploratory, and generative process whereby writers discover and reformulate their ideas as they attempt to approximate meaning” (Zamel, 1983, p. 165). The writing process, according to Leki (1992), includes prewriting (generating and organizing ideas), drafting, revising, and editing. Revision is an integral part of the writing process which requires effective feedback, especially in the earlier stages. Wells, Chang, and Maher (1990) believe that collaboration throughout ...
