1. The History of Editing

2. When the film industry first started out there was no such thing as editing, they
filmed until the reel ran out or they got bored. Early films were short films that were
one long, static, and locked-down shot. Motion in the shot was all that was necessary
necessary to amuse an audience, so the first films simply showed activity such as
traffic moving on a city street. The use of film editing to establish continuity,
action moving from one sequence into another, is attributed to British film
pioneer Robert W. Paul's Come Along, Do!, made in 1898 and one of the first films to
feature more than one shot.
The further development of action continuity in multi-shot films continued in 1899-
1900 at the Brighton School in England, where it was definitively established by
George Albert Smith and James Williamson. In that year Smith made Seen Through
the Telescope, in which the main shot shows street scene with a young man tying the
the shoelace and then caressing the foot of his girlfriend, while an old man observes
this through a telescope. There is then a cut to close shot of the hands on the girl's

3. Moviola
 Moviola is a device that allows a film editor to view film while editing. It was
the first machine for motion picture editing when it was invented by Iwan
Serrurier in 1924. Moviola the company is still in existence and is located in
Hollywood where part of the facility is located on one of the original Moviola
factory floors.
 Iwan Serrurier's original 1917 concept for the Moviola was as a home movie
projector to be sold to the general public. The name was derived from the
name "Victrola" since Serrurier thought his invention would do for home
movie viewing what the Victrola did for home music listening. But since the
machine cost $600 in 1920, very few sold. An editor at Douglas Fairbanks
Studios suggested that Iwan should adapt the device for use by film editors.
Serrurier did this and the Moviola as an editing device was born in 1924 with
the first Moviola being sold to Douglas Fairbanks himself.

4. The Lumiere Brothers
 The Lumière brothers, Auguste and Louis, were sons of well known Lyons
based portrait painter Antoine Lumière. They were both technically minded
and excelled in science subjects and were sent to Technical School.
 Their father, Claude-Antoine Lumière , ran a photographic firm where both
brothers worked for him Louis as a physicist and Auguste as a manager.
Louis had made some improvements to the still-photograph process, the
most notable being the dry-plate process, which was a major step towards
moving images. It was not until their father retired in 1892 that the brothers
began to create moving pictures.
 It is believed their first film was actually recorded in 1895 with Léon
Bouly's cinématographe device, which was patented the previous year.
The cinématographe — a three-in-one device that could record, develop,
and project motion pictures — was further developed by the Lumières.

5. The Russian Cinema
 The cinema of Russia began in the Russian Empire, widely developed in the
Soviet Union and in the years following its dissolution, the Russian film industry
would remain internationally recognized.
 The first films seen in the Russian Empire were brought in by the Lumière
brothers, who exhibited films in Moscow and St. Petersburg in May 1896. That
same month, Lumière cameraman Camille Cerf made the first film in Russia,
recording the coronation of Nicholas II at the Kremlin.

6. D.W. Griffiths
 David Llewelyn Wark was an American film director, mostly remembered as the
director of the 1915 film ‘The Birth of a Nation’ and the subsequent film
‘Intolerance’.
 Griffith began making short films in 1908, and released his first feature, Judith of
Bethulia, in 1913
 The film has been extremely controversial for its negative depiction of African
Americans, white unionists, and the Reconstruction, and its positive portrayal
of slavery and the Ku Klux Klan. The film was subsequently both lionized for its
radical technique and condemned for its racist philosophy. Filmed at a cost of
$110,000, it returned millions of dollars in profits, making it, perhaps, the most
profitable film of all time, although a full accounting has never been made.
