In camera editing

In camera editing is a video editing technique that happens inside the camera. Instead of waiting until the post production stage to organised footage, you can shoot each unit of narrative sequentially, filming shots in a very precise way so that the edit develops as filming progresses. The film is therefore already complete by the end of production. No films get made this way anymore.

Planning shots so that they can be filmed in the precise order they will be presented in requires a great deal of fore-thought. Some of this time is reclaimed, since no additional editing time is needed to cut out or re-order scenes later on. When the last scene is filmed, the production is finished. If footage has been recorded digitally, the film can be played straight from the camera. 


Below is an example of in camera editing:

As you can see from the clip above, it is an example of successful in camera editing. Each clip and shot flows onto the next without pauses or questioning such as how did he get there from there?

Analogue

Analogue and digital technology are two different types of editing and recording, However they are the same in the sense that they do the same job.


What is analogue?

Analogue was what filmmakers would use before digital was invented. It is a device that represents changing values as continuously variable physical quantity. In other words, it is a device that is always on but cannot be turned off due to it running mechanics and signals.

The main types of analogue used was in film and television. Of course their are other uses for analogue such as a clock, however we are focusing on the media. In television, analogue TV was used by transmitting signals from a broadcast station and the TV would essentially capture those signals. It was not the most efficient due to poor weather conditions would damage the frequency in the air waves therefore making it difficult to capture the signal.
