Lumière Brothers


The Lumière Brothers, were two brothers that came from France they were the first people to produce a moving image film which was workers living their factory the film was first shown in a cafe in paris on October 19th 1862  the film showed only one thing and that was some people leaving a factory the film had no sound and no editing at all it was short and had zero context too it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEQeIRLxaM4 . In addition too this all the movies at the time that succeeded it were filmed in the same way which was the camera is placed in front of a stage in the center and their were no close up shots made and it was all done like you were watching a play at a theater however in this time a man called Georges Melies developed a way of cutting the tape of film to add and or take away scene where he wanted too he discovered this by accident when filming a bus and his camera jammed and it was replaced with a horse after he fixed it and reverse it he than used this in many of his moves as a magic trick where people would appear and disappear on film however a trip to the moon became his most famous movie in which he shows off his editing the best it was also one of the longest moves edited at the time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNLZntSdyKE . Hever he still only shot his films the way the two brothers did one camere all shot and done like a theater play. It was not until 1915s Birth Of a Nation by D. W. Griffith that a movie would become less like a theater play on stage but truly complexed and layered that move had 18,000 actors used multiple cameras and multiple edits more than any movie before it, it was also the most expensive and had the biggest revenue at the time however it also was a racist movie portraying clans man as heroes but even though of that it was the only movie at the time to fully utilise all the new technology and all the new techniques of the era.

Task 2a/ timeline / technical developments in Editing
What events to include:
Early splicing (Porter)- the early splicing was created  around Nov 12, 1903 this was the technique of physically using their hand to make this  but they had to do it very carefully and no mistakes.
The Moviola + example of film edited on it. -  This was the first device that made to allow the film editors to view the film while editing during the period of time that they was making the film. This was the first machine  they made to do feature length motion picture editing.
TV and video editing
Linear editing- This process was created around Jan 1, 1930,also there was different editing  skills they
Video editing is the process of editing segments of these tapes using a device that mechanically that puts pieces of video tapes together.

Non-linear editing- the non-linear was made around Jan 31, 1992 this was one of the most important things that they needed because they couldn't us the old programs they used to use. This process is electronic this is was important also they had no printing or splicing involved during this early days the digital editing soon took place because the  video editing as it is much quicker.
