With the improvement of technology, which has also influenced the editing technique., the appearance of CGI has brought a new trend in the film industry. computer-generated imagery (CGI) gives artists far more latitude to operate outside the constraints of 2D by eliminating the need for intricate, costly, and time-consuming manual animation. (Gonzalez, 2023) It also helps to create a world of imagination for individuals, by using the computer to illustrate a world outside of reality to the audience. 

These days, CGI enhances the types of the film, which gives the director more themes to film besides the realism. Because it is widely employed since it is frequently less expensive than physical methods that depend on building intricate miniatures, employing extras for crowd scenes, and, most frequently, using it when it is just not safe or feasible to construct the images. Technologies and methods used to produce illusions or improve visual aspects in a film are known as special effects, which can be digital or practical and are employed in movies to provide realism, fantasy, or visual intrigue, which creates illusion without using CGI, that gives a grander side and more detailed to demonstrate to the audiences. (Gonzalez, 2023) The improvement of CGI makes the editing more technical rather than just copy and paste in the old days. As a result, the actions may be captured on digital media and referred to as a movie or film. The film was created from animation, which increased its possibilities, eventually, it became a singular example of animation.

In digital filmmaking, the shot is no longer the most crucial component; rather, the raw footage is what needs to be processed in the computer before the scene can be built. In short, production marks the beginning of post-production. Traditionally, the digital norm has been the boundaries of the theatre while creating a film.
