Pioneers of editing



Pioneers of editing.




Editing started with Edwin Stanton Porter, an employee of Thomas Edison.
Porter was the first to use intercutting; a technique where two shots that are not related to each other are put together to create an emotional impact on the audience. 
Life of an American Fireman was the first film to use this technique; switching between the people in the burning house to the firefighters then the same technique was used in The Great Train Robbery switching between the robbers riding away and the little girl untying the unconscious man.
The intercut became revolutionary in the world of film.

D.W Griffiths, much like Porter, also came up with- and used frequently- New techniques that changed the world of film and editing entirely. He created the close up, parallel action, and flash backs.


   

Thelma Schoonmaker was born on the 3rd of January 1940 in Algiers, Algeria. Schoonmaker attended New York University for post graduate work in summer. It was there where she met Martin Scorsese they connected instantly and they worked on the film Who's That Knocking on My Door? in 1967. However Schoonmaker and Scorsese did not work together again until Raging Bull in 1980. They then worked on 16 more films together. including Goodfellas, Gangs of New York, Cape Fear, and The Age of Innocence.

Raging Bull is arguably one of the greatest films ever to be made made and has been nominated for 8 Academy awards and won 2- for Best acting and best film editing.
