Pass: Describe the development of editing techniques and purposes 

• Discuss each filmmaker, their significant films and their contribution to the development of editing  
• Describe how Tarantino and Nolan use a mixture of continuity and alternative editing techniques
• Describe the purposes of editing in clips from their films (manipulating Time and Space, following the action, creating motivation, rhythm/tempo/pace)

Merit Task: Explain the development of techniques and purposes of editing

• Explain how Tarantino and Nolan are influenced by their Auteur predecessors - how have they used the techniques of the Montage (Eisenstein) and Discontinuity (French New Wave) as well as Continuity (Griffiths, Porter) 
• Explain the purpose of the techniques used in the clips (manipulation of time and space, following the action, creating motivation, rhythm/tempo/pace)
• Explain why why Continuity, Montage, and Discontinuity techniques are used in the films of Tarantino and Nolan referring to detailed examples (clips)

Distinction Task: Compare and assess the development of editing principles and techniques 

Evaluate the extent that Montage and New Wave discontinuity editing has lost it's meaning over its stylistic use?

How has Hollywood and Continuity's dominance absorbed these alternative approaches (Montage, Discontinuity) to editing in favour of storytelling and entertainment?

Refer to Tarantino and Nolans work to justify
