Whether you’re a novice wanting to enhance your online social media presence, or open doors to professional opportunities, breaking into the world of digital content creation may require a basic understanding of how these editing techniques evolved. Over a hundred years ago, the first films consisted of a single shot for an entire scene; close-up shots were considered unthinkable, beyond the experience of audiences accustomed to watching stage plays. But filmmaking pioneers often tinkered, learning to overcome narrative storytelling problems through trial and error. They turned film editing into an artistic craft, where joining shots together can expand or compress time, alternate points of view, and create tempo and suspense.
