Birth of a Nation (1915)
Directed, Produced and CoWritten by Griffiths
Based on the book: The
Clansman: An Historical
Romance of the Ku Klux Klan
D.W Griffiths
In The Birth of a Nation, white men who
are part of the Klan are portrayed as
strong and heroic. People of colour were
mostly played by white actors with
blackened faces. These characters were
lackadaisical, aggressive and obsessed with
white women.
This film is commonly understood to be
racist propaganda. It is ground breaking in
its use of cinema techniques, but remains
tainted with its racism and bigotry.
There has been a long running campaign
to have the film banned.

Christopher Nolan
Christopher Nolan
Christopher Nolan is an A List Hollywood Film Director whose films include
Inception, Interstellar and the Christian Bale Batman Trilogy. While much can be
said about Nolan as a stylistic director, one of the most important facets of his
productions is the use of editing within them. For the most part, Nolan’s films
will (at some point) want to tell different stories at the same time. In order to do
this, Nolan consistently employs the Parallel Edit technique to communicate the
idea that multiple events are occurring at exactly the same time. Perhaps the
best example of this is the closing sequence of Inception…
Parallel Editing
Parallel Editing (also know as Cross Cutting) is
the editing technique of alternating two or
more scenes that often happen simultaneously
but in different locations. If the scenes are
simultaneous, they will often culminate in a
single place, where the relevant parties confront
each other.

Editing task
• Some Students will produce a 5-10 second clip
that appropriately demonstrates good use of an
editing cut.
• Some will produce a number of 5-10 second clips
or a short 30-60 second film that demonstrates
very good use of editing cuts.

that experiment with a wide variety of cuts, and
this experimentation with continue throughout
the academic year.
