Pioneers of Editing

Edwin Porter



The history of editing films started off with edwin porter,edwin discussed that cutting different shots together created motions that influenced the customers,this was called inter cutting which shows different scenes happening at the same time e.g. have a scene of a fire where the building is burning ,then shows a clip of the woman inside the burning building next goes to the clip of the fire team getting ready to save the woman down at the station,this leaves us the audience worried about what is going to happen to the woman and makes us want the fire team to save this woman.

Editing now days can be slown down or increased speed this is sometimes to startle the audience.


DW Grifice 


He was the first film editor to really understand editing to take filming to another level.
he was also the first to use a closeup shot ,which people/producers didn't really agree with at first but it later then advanced and turned into a big thing later on in hollywood, Grifice also created the flash backs to create an illusion that the charter is thinking about something that happened in the past,he would also use a wideshot to a close up to make the audience not beware that they were actually watching a film,Grifice had a main cutter called edward smith who helped him edit he then later on brought his wife who began to also help the both of them in the world of editing.

IN camera editing evaluation

Evaluation 

The task was to explain a story which people will understand with out using final cut pro to see how good the video would turn out to be, to make this video we had to pause stop and record.
We used a range of shots to explain the story we used close ups face to face ,extreme close up ,over the shoulder shot to show when the person was moving and when the person was talking, we also used point of view .i feel that the areas that need improving are the sound because it was too noisy where we shot the video ,also we needed it to speak a bit louder because you cant really hear what the people are saying in the video.
if i could edit i would improve the back round noise also i would add some music to make it sound a bit more better and entertaining because music really explains the story more better and gives you a good drama scene.
