More Information, Less Contemplation: Film Edits Illustrate The Rapid Acceleration Of Contemporary Life
Scales are a standard a icon of balance. In most images of scales there are two plates suspended by chains hanging on either side of a pole that teeters on a post. Place weights on one side and the arm dips until an equal amount of weight on the opposite plate brings the scale back into balance. It is a great symbol that cannot be replicated with electronic scales or industrial scales. Changing from scales that balance to scales that quickly provide a digital number is a great metaphor for our times and our lives. More information can be retrieved in a minute then our great grandparents could gather in a lifetime. This information has led to great advancements in many fields from industry to medicine. It has also increased the pace of our lives. Where once there was a spring where information bubbled up, now we are in the middle of a raging flood of information impossible to consume or digest. Movies are a great mirror of this changing pace.
When a film was being edited, it used to require something called a flatbed. An editor would pull clips of film from a bin which has strings of celluloid hanging from little hooks and drops into a giant canvas bag on wheels. The editor would choose what he wanted to insert into the film, go to the bins, find the clip, cut the film on the flatbed then splice and tape the piece to be inserted. The editor repeats this process for the sound. Each changerequires a physical insertion which took time. Aware that each cut was a commitment to time and effort, the editor would be thoughtful about the reasons for the edit, considering the reasons and visualizing the outcome prior to cutting the film. Every slice of film meant sacrificing a frame and a half of the work print. Every cut was deliberate and thought through ahead of time.
The advent of digital technology altered the way films are edited and viewed. What would have taken hours to accomplish can now be done in minutes or even seconds, without damaging or altering any work product. If an editor has a questionable idea, he doesn’t have to think it through. He can try it and see what it looks like with little time or effort spent. Visualizing an edit is replaced by trial and error, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. All the restraints of cutting and taping film are gone. As a result the number of cuts in a typical scene has multiplied dramatically. The old rules of editing are changing and the language of film has evolved.
Compare a film from 1950 to a film made today. The amount of information fed to an audience is very different. Current movies are frenetic, exciting, stimulating assaulting the senses and immersing the audience in a full out rapid fire experience. Comparing old movies to new movies is similar to the difference between being moved by a painting and being flung about by a roller coaster. Most teens find the pace of an older film slow and dull. The constant stimulation and movement of films made today reflect the larger social trend; while we are capable of processing more information quickly, it has increased our pace of life to almost addictive frenetic levels.
There are many advantages in our ability to collect and process massive amounts of information quickly. However, if we lose our capacity to sit quietly and reflect on what it really means have we gained anything?
