In Camera Editing - In camera editing is a technique of video production, in which the camera operator shoots in the exact order that they will be viewed in. It was a technique used a great deal in the early days of film making before 'splicing' (the art of cutting /reconnecting film strip) became easier. The film is 'edited' by simply switching on and off the camera. One of the most famous in-camera editors was George Melies.
Pros of in camera editing - its done quicker, it's more selective, makes you plan ahead and your film is made more efficiently.
Cons of in camera editing - it's all done in one go so therefore you can't make mistakes, the planning takes time as well.
Editors moved on from in camera editing because the process takes immense amounts of planning so that the shots that are filmed are the ones that will be viewed in directly that order. There is no cutting out and editing scenes later on. When the very last scene is filmed by the camera operator, the production is completely finished.
