- What about editing language understanding did you notice?
- I noticed the J cut in the beginning when the chopper is flying over the forest of Vietnam
- I noticed the hard cut that they did when they cut to the guy almost throwing up
- And there was an L cut when they were getting ready to cut to the guy shooting the LMG
- There were also J, L, and hard cuts in their conversation about making a story for the gunner
- They also added some flash to the end of the gun
- They also added a long fade at the end of their conversation to the outside of the chopper
- What did you like about the film clip?
- I liked how it smoothly transitioned in the whole clip
- I like how they got a shot of the chopper flying over the rising sun
- What question do you have from what you saw?
- How did they make the cuts cut really quickly as if there was no cut?
- What I learned from this exercise is that old movies still have good editing even for their age.
