Dede Allen blog assignment

Below I have posted some links to some interesting articles on Dede Allen, the editor of Bonnie and Clyde. The first two are links to an interview with Dede Allen. The interview is a bit long and is divided into 2 parts. You can get to Part 2 from the second link or from the bottom of part one, there is a connecting link, if you would like to read the whole interview. The third link is an overview of Allen's career, it also specifically addresses and analyzes her work in Bonnie and Clyde, and discusses the influence she has had on modern editing techniques.

I would like each of you to read at least one of these articles and then write a paragraph response to the reading. You may discuss something you found interesting from the article, something you learned about editing, you can write about Ms. Allen specifically, or you can discuss the editing of Bonnie and Clyde and your reactions to it. Please cite any quotes from the article or examples from the film when necessary. This will be worth 10 points, and must be posted by NOON on FRIDAY.
