the change new media technology has made on editing in the last 30 years

New media technology is the word used to describe the emergence of digital, computerised o networked information. new media technology is quicker smaller more efficient and compressed forms of data when compared to the older analogue equipment.
non linear this allows an editor to edit the film at any stage on a computer. un like 30 year ago with linear editing thsis was very in convenient because the editor had to literally cut and past each scene in the right place.In non-linear editing,the film is mot lost or modified during editing. Professional editing software records the decisions of the editor in an edit decision list (EDL) which can be interchanged with other editing tools. many different variations of the film can existed with the need of more than one copy ths allows the editing of a film to bery flexible.this also allow the editor to change cuts and descions that they want to change that were on the (EDL). the film that hase been editied will not loss any quality because its does not have to keep being encoded. The costs of editing systems have proliferated such that non-linear editing tools can be used people in thir homes. Some editing software can now be accessed free as web applications; some, like Cinelerra and Blender3D, like Microsoft's Windows Movie Maker or Apple Computer's iMovie.(wh we used at chadwell heath).
editing before digital technology in the 1970's CMX 600 was introduced this made editing so much easier because the allowed the editor can use a light pen to put any scene anywhere he wants it with out the long process that it was before.It was introduced in 1971 by CMX Systems this is reffered to as the (RAVE)Random Access Video Editor. The 600 had 2 black & white monitors built in, with a light pen used to control the system. The right monitor, played the preview video this was used by the editor to make cuts and edit decisions, by using the light pen. The left monitor was used to display the edited video.


due to today's new media technology this mean any one can produce media. this helps the audience by enabling the to indulge all types of media because the editing of the films are easier to do and it is not a long inconvenient process. also with today simplistic method of making film this allows any one with ab it of drive to make a film where as 30 years ago only really qualified editors were involved in film making.
technology converge is when two functions are joined together which makes a process in film making much easier. digital light and special effects can be used before the footage is filmed. this mean that after a film is made it does not need altering.
in conclusion has made a drastic leap and has impacted on the production of films in a major way i think that the modernisation of editing has opened doors for more people to achieve what was probably once seen as unachievable. on the other hand it takes the professionalism away from that certain job so the job is not fully appreciated any more.
