The age of non-linear editing

We are now in an age where movie editing is done completely by computer on a non-linear editing program. Whereas before, it was a thoughtful and time-consuming process where the actual film was spliced and put together scene by scene.

Now, you can do multiple edits of the same scene (or even the whole movie) in a short period of time. In other words, the planning and thought process has been removed. As long as you overshoot the scene, you'll have lots of options in the edit. No need to actually think about what the end result will be when you are shooting.

Of course, it doesn't help that the up-and-coming young film-makers were raised on a steady diet of choppy music videos.
