Editing Progress

After revisiting the editing history assignment, it really made me wonder how difficult it must have been for the BBC and other television networks in the 60s and 70s to produce content, because if you think that nowadays all you need is a mid spec laptop, some editing software, and a little camera and you can make a mockumentary, or any form of short series very easily, a prime example of this is the BBC Camera crew caught in the snow near Taunton at the beginning of the year, they were stranded in the middle of the countryside overnight, so instead of sitting there like ducks in a can, they made a news feature on how bad it actually was! But that also makes you think of the many technological advances that have been brought on! the use of new updated Outside Broadcast vans with satellite uplinks, and lightweight cameras that film in HD, thinking back to even the early 2000s, that was almost non-existent! Its really opened filming up to the masses, and made it a lot easier!
