Notes

 Film and editing

The first edited piece was called "Life as a firemen".

The first ever editing machines were referred to as "sewing machines"  The reason for this was not only did it look like a sewing machine but generally women use to use them. In this sexist day and age being an editer was a womans job and didn't seem like a particully important job in the film industry.

It takes about 8months to a year to edit a whole film. Generally films were and are still today 2 hours long and was made up of 5000 frames.


A term was made called "cutting seemless" This was introduced as films didn't seem to run naturally and we noticed the cuts. So these were introducedto let the film flow and for the audience to not notice the edits and cuts.
