Early filmmakers looked naturally to the theater as a model, and basically filmed a staged performance. Editing quickly emerged as fundamental to filmmaking for clarity and continuity. Sergei Eisenstein was one of the most influential early masters of editing and became interested in the expressive possibilities, including the rhythm of shots to create symbolic connections between them. Many of his innovative techniques can be seen in the 1925 film Battleship Potemkin.
