Missy asks: "Does anyone have any suggestions as to short clips etc. that I can show in class. I'm especially interested in anything that will help them grasp the esthetics of editing." I haven't used it myself, but have admired (and others have recommended) James Naremore's teaching film A NICKEL FOR THE MOVIES, which sets a scene and then de-coupages and de-constructs it right down to the price of admission. The Criterion laserdiscs, if you have the technology at hand, can be quite useful, since you can stop, slow down and otherwise mess with individual moments. On the laserdisc of TOOTSIE, I've often used the "lesbian" scene between Michael/Dorothy and Julie, which is included as a CAV format extra on the disk. It's a classic bit of continuity editing, employing following pans, the 180-degree rule (and shot/reverse shot) and match on action--all within just a few moments of screen time.
