  4. When did it start? • Editing wasn’t always common place • Most films were shot in one take, with a stationary camera. • No story - typically just events • A Russian Example...

  5. Early editing • In 1918 Russian director Lev Kuleshov did an experiment to test the psychology of image association.

  6. Early editing • Despite the fact that the image was the same, people thought he was acting different emotions based on the image that followed.

  7. Early editing • Edwin Stanton Porter is credited for having the first film with plot, action, and different shots. • Historic short film “The Great Train Robbery” (1903)

  8. Image Relation • Editing is all about creating a relation from one image to the next. • When images are shown in rapid succession in the same context,we refer to it as a montage. • Does anybody know any examples of a montage?

  9. The Montage • The creating of the montage is credited to Russian Director Sergei Eisenstein. • One of his most prolific and significant contributions to editing was showcased in his work Battleship Potemkin (1925). • The Odessa Steps

  10. Things to look for • How does music play a part in a montage sequence? • Is there a rhythm to the edits? • How does the concept of time play out?

  11. How they did it • Through use of sets, location, and multiple takes, they were able to splice together the best of the best to make a final product. • The process of splicing(or cutting) together physical pieces of film is referred to as linear editing.

  12. Modern Editing • Modern Editing is referred to as Non-Linear Editing • Non-Linear Editing- The use of a computer system and software to perform non-destructive editing on source footage.

  13. Advantages to NLE • Source material is not changed • Ability to have multiple takes and cuts without too many resources • Easier organization • Speed • Quicker distribution on a larger scale • Cost

  14. So why use film • Aesthetic/Artistic choice • Globally acceptable format • Longer shelf-life (both film stock and equipment) • Magic

  15. In Class assignment • Find a piece of video work online (youtube, etc) that you feel exemplifies good editing. It could be a music video, part of a TV show, interview, documentary, whatever! Write a paragraph or two describing why you feel this has good editing. Turn in at the end of class. • We will share at the end of class. • Turned in assignment will count as a graded assignment.
