The last video clip introduces Walter Murch, it also introduces Edwin Porter, but we'll come on to that in a moment.
I think it's more important to learn what makes good editing, before you then see what you can glean from history and theory.
Murch made editing theory very simple.
He suggested a Rule of Six. The first four of which you'll have no problem understanding. The last couple are to do with how the pictures relate to one another on the screen and how 'reality' is maintained by a continuity in the spatial relationships between images.
Boring. Well...
