    The author included many examples and timelines for the history of film and video editing. Throughout the course, I learned many fun facts that I share with my friends and family. I enjoyed watching films while learning about the details that made each film unique for its time. This course helped me see the smaller details in today's films and appreciate the time that people spend editing films.
