Film Editing

Film Editing 

Film editing is the process of working with film and recently involves the use of digital technology. A film editor will work with raw footage by selecting shots and combining them into sequences which help to complete a finished motion picture. Film editing can be described as an art or a skill that is unique to cinema. 

The film editor has to be creative to be able to piece together, images, story-lines, music, dialogue and acting to be able to create a finished film.

Earlier films were quite short and looked quite static. Motion by itself in a shot was enough to entertain the audience without a story or editing, each story was able to run as long as film was in the camera.
