\nAs the story goes, when audiences first saw the Lumiere Brothers’ The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat Station<\/em>, they screamed and ran to the back of the room to avoid what they thought to be a real-life train barreling toward them. You can’t really blame them, though; it was 1896 and people had never really seen anything like it before, and tall tale or not, it makes sense that a response like that could’ve been elicited by a bold, new, dynamic medium such as cinema. \n<\/p>\n

\nBut what about editing, then? Film editing came out not long after the inception of film, round around the turn of the century, but while movie-goers were scrambling to the back of theaters over an on-screen train, nobody really took notice when one picture cut to an entirely new one. Sure, nowadays this is expected and even a standard editors aim to achieve in their work, but back then, when the cinema was a novelty, why weren’t audiences in awe of the grand spectacle of the cut? Well, this video essay from Aeon Video explains it. \n<\/p>\n
