J.S How Editing Has Developed.

In the 1880's editing wasn't used at all, over the years it has developed massively and now it is used all the time. It is always developing, even to this day. Edwin Stanton Porter and D. W. Griffith , the American film maker are thought to of been two of the first to experiment with editing. Edwin Stanton Porter made the breakthrough film Life of An American Fireman where he had a close up which had never been done before.
