How has Editing changed since the introduction of New media Technology?
The Process of editing before the new media technology is a significant change.
Before the introduction of Non linear editing styles the companies had to rely on editing the films done primarily by cutting and pasting pieces of the film using equipment such as splicer and threading the film on to special machines e.g. the Moviola or flatbed machine. Before Digital technology there were no opportunities to handle expensive camera or editing equipments everything as basic such as the camera the film could only be recorded onto big reels of 8mm, 16 and 25mm.
Digital technology is smaller, more efficient sample of data storage compared to analogue which takes longer to transmit information. They don’t need to rely on machines to edit there films but on computers, Macs and special editing Programmes such as Avid, final cut and I-movie have all revolutionised film editing techniques,. These are all easier to use and cuts scenes without it being obvious to the viewer e.g. A film which was made 30yrs ago would have defined cuts between each scene whereas a film nowadays will be able to use more diverse techniques of how to start and finish each scene and linking them together.
Production companies such as film 4 (independent) and Universal (Hollywood) use this type of editing programs on almost all of their production which include a variety of features which allows the editing team to create and manipulate the visual and audio to suit there films perspective.
Advantages of new editing for the film industry today:
It is a quicker to edit a film now as production companies have now access to digital programming which is far quicker to use saving them time and money and the amount of time spent on post production allowing them to focus more on the content.
It allows the editor to be in control of sequences, correct mistakes, copy frames and add effects were they feel is necessary, it allows them to change things last minute if they don’t feel it is or isn’t needed.
It is portable whereas 30yrs ago you had to rely on machines. It ca be done on a PC or Mac with a high spec and a digital editing programme. This allows the editors to work wherever they want.
The cost of a Linear editing machines were very expensive to manufacture and maintain a did not have much access to those in the film Industry however Nowadays with access to digital editing it can be assembled for as little as 2000 which isn’t to much for a part of post production. This would include the cost of spec PC, good quality speakers and a professional level of editing programmes. This would make a big difference to the quality of the film as good editing will make the film look and appeal better to the audience.
The editing process has changed dramatically and can also use this to edit more complicated films such as animated and cartoons which they would have never been able to do years ago.
New media technology is the up coming and change in digital, computerized and networked information that has been improved in the later part 20Th century.
Examples of technological convergence:
Mobile phones- they allow texts calls surfing web, saving information, sat nav, TV programming, Dab radio.
Televisions-Interactive voting and gaming such as on sky remotes the red button. Recording programmes and some TV allows use of Internet service.
Computers-Internet sending emails, messages through such websites as face book, MySpace, msn, computer games interactive, TV programming e.g. BBC Iplayer channel 4 40d
Technological convergence had revolutionised editing as it easy to access editing through the PC and Mac s It can also be used to edit the audio(music and sound) and the visuals e.g. the special effects, the actors bodies and face getting rid or adding on blemishes such as cuts scars, Making there skin look radiant.

From a Viewers point of view having good editing can add and take away from the film. It is a good thing as for an action film it can add music effects good cuts form each scenes adding an exciting techniques to link the scenes and create an atmosphere between characters. However the editing can sometimes take away from the story. A Sad film could have too much music in too many scenes taking away form the simplicity of the dialogue and the characters emotions. Overall editing is a great way of puzzling the film together to create the best possible end result.
New technology is the future of society everyone in a future will have access to television radio and Internet on there phones. Phones as the I phone will be used through the future generation and there will be new deceives and inventions to fit into our new media world.
