The embedded YouTube video shows how the history of filmmaking is fascinating. It reminds me to appreciate the advancement of the film industry. I can only imagine how it felt for someone who had never seen a video or a film before to sit in the cinema and watch a series of moving pictures. I would have been scared and maybe would have run away or maybe would have screamed a lot. It is fascinating how we moved from black and white pictures to pictures in colors and from black and white videos to videos in colors.
Also this video talks about how editors literally used a pair of scissors to cut out the frames they did not want. It is amazing to see the advancement in technology over the last few decades. Now, films are well preserved in (a) digital storage(s), but before people used to keep enomous amounts of tapes in literally a storage room. This class is really helping me to appreciate and to give respect to all producers and editors from decades ago. They really did a great job in editing some of my favorite movies even though they did not have sofisticated computers, but only a pair of scissors.
