The History of Editing Throughout the years in film editing there is a major difference since the first film up on till today. Films have been gradually getting better as the years passes by. The films are getting more creative and more understanding to the audience and attracting a lot of attention especially when they designed colour TV which was in the year 1954.Even before colour when it was black and white they were still attracting a lot of people because they were used to watching films the way it was designed back in the years but now the audience has grew because of the coloured film it is more easier and interesting to watch. Even today I would not be able to watch a black and white film this is because I am not used to it and it will be very tedious.

The History of Editing

Throughout the years in film editing there is a major difference since the first film up on till today. Films have been gradually getting better as the years passes by. The films are getting more creative and more understanding to the audience and attracting a lot of attention especially when they designed colour TV which was in the year 1954.Even before colour when it was black and white they were still attracting a lot of people because they were used to watching films the way it was designed back in the years but now the audience has grew because of the coloured film it is more easier and interesting to watch. Even today I would not be able to watch a black and white film this is because I am not used to it and it will be very tedious. It is not just the colour that has changed through the years it is also the editing that has changed since 1877 till today back then there was no editing at all it was just one shot throughout the whole film just. For example do you know when you’re at a concert and you’re filming it you’re not cutting it and it’s just all in one shot throughout the concert that was basically what films were then back in the 1800s but obviously in black and white.

Down below us a timeline of how film/editing has changed throughout the years.

Year Name Example1800’s Lumiere Brothers The First film ever created was

by the lumiere brothers in 1895 The film was called L'Arrivee d'un train with no edits.

1903 Edwin Porter First signs of editing are shown in films around 1903 for example Edwin Porters film The Great Train robbery The edits used were Cutting by using a splicing machine.

1915 D.W. Griffith In 1915 D.W. Griffith was the first person to use a range of different shots in a film after he used shots such as close ups in his film ‘Birth of a nation’ This changed film in a major way, as the techniques are even used today. Jimmy Edward Smith was Griffith's film cutter.

1924 Erich von Stroheim In 1924 Editing has gone on to add colour to certain parts of films, the way they did this is by individually colouring each shot by hand.

1956 Henry Ephron By this time films were in full colour and film makers started introducing advanced techniques such as flashbacks and parallel editing etc.
