In today's lesson we learnt about the history of editing and how much has changed from now and when the first ever film was produced in the 1890's. When the first films were created, there was no such thing as 'editing' or 'movement'. there use to be one camera that took one long big shot to film the entire scene, there was no editing the scene or movement of camera to give the effect of camera angles and shots.
But when a man called George Melies was filming a bus his camera died, when his camera restarted a Hurst was in the same position the bus had been. Melies called this a 'jump cut', as the scene changed from the bus to the hurst in one take. Melies also created the 'fade in and out', 'overlapping dissolves' and stop motion photography. But when filming all of his films he never moved the camera once, so his films had no actually camera movement. Compared to today's filming their is a large wide verity of camera shots and camera angles that can be used. Also there is a lot of camera movement used in today's filming.
