Films and clips at there birth didn't contain much of a story, and editing wasn't used to emphasize any point or scene, it was simply to show for example a boat pulling into a harbor. The Lumiere brothers changed this, they introduced a plot into films. They would set up a camera, and tell a short story, for example Porter directer "The Great Train Robbery" which has just a short story that took place directly in front of the camera, not moving at all and no shots from different angles, and most importantly no editing.
Editing stepped up to the plate also when Hitchcock used it thoroughly in "Shadow of a Doubt". It highlights completely how editing can play a huge role in how storytelling and how it can be used to put a point across.
