Analogue Editing
Analogue editing is the cutting together of pieces of
celluloid film. Traditionally films are made up images printed on acetate negatives.
These are the ‘spliced’ together to form a reel of film. These are then feed
through a projector at a constant speed of 24 frames per second which makes the
picture appear to be moving. This is known as analogue. The advantages of analogue editing are that many
people will like this as they are quite nostalgic , which means they will like
the old fashioned way of editing, also it is found quite easy by elderly
people. The disadvantages of analogue editing is people may find it hard to
splice the two different bits of film together, and due to digital editing,
people may find it a waste of time.
The First Moviola
Before the widespread use of non-linear editing systems, the
initial editing of all films was done with a positive copy of the film wok
print (cutting copy in the UK) by physically cutting and pasting together pieces
of film, using a splicer and threading the film on a machine with a viewer, for
example a ‘Moviola’. The advantage of the Moviola is that splicing could now be
done with this machine and made it much easier than doing it manually. The
disadvantage of this is that some people may not like to work with machinery
and may like to do it with their hands.
Video Editing
Before digital technologies became available magnetic tapes
were used to store information, these are known as video tapes. Most video
editing has been superseded by digital editing which is faster and cheaper.
Digital Editing
Digital media is a form of electronic media where data are
stored in digital as opposed to analogue form. Digital editing is the use of
computers to order and manipulate this digital data. Digital Cinema uses bits
and bytes, strings of 1s and 0s) to record, transmit and reply images, instead
of chemicals on film. The whole process is electronic so there is no printing
or ‘splicing’ involved. The advantage of digital editing is that there is no
splicing involved therefore the mistakes will be minimal and you can delete the
editing you have done if you’re not happy with it and try to edit it again. The
disadvantage is that there might not be people up to date with all the digital
editing and will therefore not know how to use or some may prefer analogue
editing.
Non-linear Editing
In digital video editing, non-linear editing is a method that
allows you to access any frame in a digital video clip regardless of sequence
in the clip. The freedom to access any frame, and use a cut-and-poste method,
similar to the ease of cutting and pasting text in a word processor, and allows
you to easily include fades, transitions, and other effects that cannot be
achieved with linear editing.
