The Development of editing

Before Editing



Before Editing existed, this was the first ever moving images called The output of the light plant in lyon, this was because of the invention of the video camera called cinematograph, this was shown in the Lumiere Brothers work. the invention of the cinematograph was the first mile stone of the film industry's future, the ability to record and capture `and ablie to view later on projector.
.
The first people to pioneer before editing was by two brothers called Louis (aged 33) and Auguste (aged 31). The Lumiere Brothers done a single shot film clip lasting 46 seconds that showed people that are coming out of a factory, the film that was shot was in a ratio at 4:4, as it was viewed as squared format, there was no colour or sound and was black and white. The quality of the footage was poor and grainy, but understandable as it was the first film shot by the Cinematograph it was a three in one as it recorded, developed and projected motion film.
.
1895, the Lumiere Brothers made history of capturing live action, this was a massive milestone before editing simply because it was the first ever film that was shot, the footage lasted 50 seconds and was done on 17 meters of film reel and today with years of developed technology this idea of recording motion is placed in nearly every electronic device. In total the Lumiere Brothers where to go on to make 10 other films.

In camera Editing



Camera Editing was yet another milestone for the development within the film industry. Robert W Paul created the first ever multi shot video, he was the first person to shoot a film with more then one shot within film, he did this by starting the camera to film and then stopping and moving the location of the cinamatograph then restarting the camera, This type of filming meant that the film reel did not have to be edited by someone physically cutting parts of the film reel and reattaching where they want the film to continue from. there was restriction to film continuously as film reels and other equipment was very expensive.

The pioneer to discover in camera editing was Robert W Paul, at 29 years old he had pioneered this techniques. in his short film called "come along, do!" which was the first film to have more then one shot within film. at 0:07- 0:43 the first shot was shown of the two couple that are sitting on a bench outside of the museum, then we see a next shot of the couple that are inside of  the art museum, as this was the first every film that was to included more then one shot. this short film still told a story even though it had no sound as he used labelled signs (art section) to let the audience know there they were going when entering the doors to their right. Robert W Paul shot 11 film before he had pioneered this editing techniques

Why this was a huge impact to the film industry's future as it allowed filmmaker to film multiple shots and place then into film, This was discovered and introduced by him in 1898. This editing techniques with a modern development is gone on to be placed in every movie in the future to come. This techniques is developed to several hundred multiple shot that are placed in film.

Following the action



Following the action was a editing techniques that was done by George albert smith, as he was the first one to pioneer the point of view shot, and the continuity of action. What he did is that he added filter into the reel to create the point of view style shot. Also the continuity of action was done be follows to action that the actor's did in the scenes.

The first person to pioneer the editing technique following the action was George albert smith, he had pioneered this at age (35) in 1899. He was the first person to complete a post production effect, this was see at 0:17 of where the shot of the women ankle but is shown through a silhouette, it shows it through a cirler view. George albert smith had shot 7 other film before he had discovered the editing techniques of Following the actions.

Why following of actions was a huge impacts on the future of film industry is because it allowed filmmaker to create content that followed and made sense to the audienec without any confusion. This was also a huge impact because there was a technique that was used to show point on view as t was introduced as this was gone on to be used in scenes in American Sniper or a whole movie such as  Cloverfiled.

Multiple point of view



Multiple point of view shot, is an editing techniques that used multiple different shot within a film, it was pioneered by James Williamson, as he was the first that was to create a multi shot movie , as he used 3 shots.

The first person to pioneer the editing techniques of multiple point of view in 1900 was James Williamson at age 45. where this editing technique was first placed was in the work "Attack on a China Mission".What had been pioneered in this film was the multiple point of view shot, 180 degree rule and match on action. We had see three different point of view first introduced first was shown at 0:01 an establishing shot, the second view was shown at 0:06 of the people of the house fleeing to shelter, then we see the third shot at 0:47 of the soldier coming in to fire at the house. We also see the 180 degree rule shown within the movie at 0:49 and 0:55 where the soldiers and house are placed on one side of the screen. We also see the introduction of match of action we see this at 0:50 to 0:51 where the soldier run out of shot towards the house and there is a cut to the soldier running into to the shot of the house.

Jamees Williamson had shot 5 other film before he had discovered the multiple point of view. what impact this discovery had created to the future of film industry is that it allowed filmmaker to tell a story will different view. as this allowed to audience to believe that more then one camera where used. how this is developed to the present day is actions is shots on multiple camera and technology and build of the came have got stronger can and is shown through different view to emphasis the impact.

Shot variation



Shot variation was a development of creating more then one sot shot angle in film making, we see that the close ups has been develop and create depth into the actors feeling, it had indicated to the viewer on how to feel.

DW Griffiths at age 30 was the first person to pioneer the shot variation of editing. this was shown in his work of The Birth of A Nation. This was first shown in 1915. it had a budget of $100,000 and had made a estimated earning box office figure of $50-$100 million. When the film was released it was 133 minutes. what was inducted was the variety of shots , in the film we had see our first ever close this was used to create depth into the actors acting you can see this at 3:28 of a close up of a women. We can also see that he had introduced other transition such as dissolved. Dw Grifiths had shot 2 film before he had pioneered this editing technique.

Why DW Griffiths discovery was a huge impact of the future of the film industry was because it allowed other filmmaker to tell a story with emphasis of acting through the variety of shot.What other impact this created was it developed an idea of telling a full story , as this was the first every feature length film that was shot, as this created a an average time on film. which is used in the present day as 1:30-2 hour film 

Manipulation of diegetic time and space



The manipulation of diegetic time and space was , was a first to create a editing techniques of montage, cutting to beat and the source of editing to a specific paces, this was to develop the idea of match the seed of the actions to the pace of the editing cuts.

Where we see manipulation of decgetic time and space first used is in the film Battleship Potemkin from the scenes Odessa Step the film was 75 minutes long, This is were we see the first ever editing techniques of editing paces, we saw a fast editing past this was matched with the actions on see where people where tumbling over the stair and also the rolling down of the pram down the stair we see this at 2:32. we also see the use of cutting to the beat because all of the cuts that are made are match with the beat that are shown. This rule was discovered by Sergei Eisenstein at age 27 in 1925 he had shot two other movies before he had discovered this editing techniques.

Why Sergei Eisenstein discovering was a huge impact for the future of film industry was because he had had created an editing techniques that was to go on to be highly used in music video and film. This  techniques was represented to show the audience what the intensity of the scenes and what the action of screen contained or the beat of the music. 

Film,video



Film to video moving to digital format of editing was the transitions if film reels to digital format. as this allowed for the quality of film to be more HD for the audience to view. This also allowed for the format to be worked on to create visuals effect.

The first ever movie to pioneer the the development was Once Upon A Time In Mexico. as this was the first film to be filmed in digital format, which allowed for a better quality viewing to the audience. This format was introduced in 2001 and now is used in ever film format, but before that every other film was done on reels.

Why film to video was a huge impact on future of film making is that it allowed industry to create films that were in high definition to the viewer. As this also impacted the audience view on the film as there could see a clean and defined image on screen in the cinema. This also made is easier for editor to used as digital could have been placed in computer software much quicker and easier and copied for back up.

Analogue



Analogue was the first every editing tool that was to be invented and used in film production, it was the first piece of machinery to be used to help edit and cut film up, as it allowed to forward and reverse and cut film to the right cut through a live view.

The first ever person to pioneer analogue editing system was Iwan Serrurier, the machinery was called Moviola. it has cost $600 which is equivalent to $20,000 today, which had meant very little were sold. The machine was purchased by the film company for example Warner Brothers and Universal studio. This editing software was invented in 1924 where Iwan serrurier was 46 year old. This editing technology is still available till this day in Hollywood.

What impact this development of editing techniques had on the future of film making is that is allowed the process of film to be edited to me much quicker,this was due to the function and accesseablity of the editing machinery. as this allowed to view the footage live when editing. and make a cut seamlessly instead of of hand cutting the footage and then reattaching the two cut back together.

Digital



Digital, was the first editing process that was completely developed on a software, as it was is distribution editing, as it was completely digital , which replaced the analogue editing techniques as this was much more accessible to use.

The first editing software was cmx 600 it was the first every computer editing software, which was introduced in 1971. some of the first ever films to be edited used non liner editing was Star wars and Terminator. there were the movies to using visual effect. The first ever 3D  animations film was Toy story which was introduced in 1995 which was a huge revolution in animation as this allowed the future of film making to create more advance visual effect into there films.

The impact that Non linear editing created on the future of film making is that it allowed other filmmaker to create advance visuals to content to make action impossible to be possible.
This is also allowed filmmaker to edit movie much faster. This also allowed them to store footage on hard rive and make copy. it allowed editor to be more free instead of limited option to the cut there make.
