Let’s kick it back to the days of Kinetograph, an innovative camera. The first ever motion picture was done on film, using this Kinetograph made by Edison and Dickson. It was edited by cutting up pieces of the film that were not required and putting together the other required parts with tape. This invention from Edison’s lab was used to capture things like natural calamities, news events, people and other generic things. Since then, things slowly started changing – then came colour film, editing machines, computers, movies and sitcoms, The Oscars and lastly, smartphones and apps. Today, we live in an era with digital cameras, printers and editing software that we can get a hold of very easily.
