Developments in Technology

Analogue editing was before any form of editing technology, and it made film creation extremely strenuous, it wouldn't allow quick easy editing of a movie. When analogue editing was used, they would create film using  a razor blade to cut the film where they wanted, then taping it back together to create the correct sequence they wanted. In the early films you could actually see when a scene was cut if you watch carefully.

Today, digital editing rules the film industry, it saves so much time and every film maker uses it. With digital editing you can also go back and forth constantly and make changes at any time to improve your film, with analogue editing this was absolutely impossible, it was one cut and that was it. A good example of digital editing is "The Matrix", lots of incredible effects and editing at every turn.

Film & video editing is where the film editor works with raw film tape, choosing what shot they want to us, and what order it will be put together within the sequence, it was a long and hard process, because you wouldn't be able to preview each shot before you chose, once you'd filmed it that the last you see till it was done. Unlike now where you can capture it, put it on a USB stick or on a disc and watch it back a thousand times to decide.
