1. The Sun
The 2003 film Under the Tuscan Sun, directed by Audrey Wells and edited by Arthur Coburn and Andrew Marcus, is an emotionally loaded picture, which deals mainly with disappointed romantic feelings and unexpected decision-making. As a genre, the film is a mixture of a comedy, drama, and romance. The editing techniques used in the film include mainly employment of simple cuts, optical effects, timing, and rhythm. Editing refers to the different ways of putting different shots together to make scenes and sequences. There are other editing techniques involved in the film as well, but aside from the shot composition, these are the most effective techniques for this type of a movie. .
The film is largely based on two person's conversations. The conversational scenes, just as the most of the remaining footage, use simple cut. The technique gives the viewer an impression of seamless real time as if they were watching the entire scene without disruptions. The cuts move the camera from one person to the other, so that the viewer always, or most of the time sees the person speaking up. There are multiple examples of this technique throughout the film, for instance, in the beginning scene when Frances speaks with the divorce attorney, the shots jump from her to her companion, whenever they speak up. Similar use of simple cuts is in Frances's conversation with her friends in the café in San Francisco, and later with the real estate agents when she buys the villa in Tuscany, etc. This editing technique allows the viewers to lose the awareness of the cuts and that they are watching a movie because it is very similar to a blink of one's eyes. The use of simple cuts in showing conversation helps the audience to participate in it being in the listener position. Simple cuts suit the movie in the sense that its heavy reliance on conversation comes from the fact that the film is dealing mainly with romantic feelings or a disappointment of such.
