Q 1. Identify one editing technique used Goodfellas (1990) that breaks from continuity editing? Describe an exact moment in the film, then analyze why it is used. How does breaking the illusion of continuous time and space fit with the story the film is telling at that exact moment? 2. In scenes when Henry is hopped up on drugs and feeling anxious about the drug deal, the editing rhythm changes. A quicker paced editing rhythm, along with moving camera shots, convey Henry’s speedy, anxious state of mind. Pick one of those scenes and do a shot-by-shot analysis of the dramatic impact of the editing and camera movements. Due: • Pt. 1: Answer discussion question(s) - Friday, 11:59pm CST of module 5.

It is said that the editor behind Godfellas is a genius and it is still considered to be one of the best classic gangster movies that people have admired over and over again. In the “Do I amuse you” scene of Joe Pesci the shots have been very thoughtfully edited and worked upon to create a very good experience.
