Course Description

Even a compelling story can be undercut by poorly-paced action and sound that’s not precisely synced or fails to create a credible illusion.  Building upon skills learned in Editing 1 and Sound Editing, this hands-on course focuses on the importance of understanding story both to the editing process and to creating a compelling experience for the viewer.   Students learn advanced editing techniques such as linear vs. non-linear approaches, seamless editing styles, effective transitions, and the integration of creative title sequences, with an emphasis on the effective editing and mixing of sync sound footage for dialogue sequences.  Working in pairs, students create two short sound videos by swapping roles: director/writer or editor/videographer.  For the first film one student takes the director role and the partner takes the editor role.  On the second film, the students exchange roles.  This approach to the process allows students to work with a director to achieve a narrative vision and compelling story, much as professional editors work with directors.  Students also learn how to prepare a project for finishing, and the options for output.   Hands-on tutorials reinforce technical editing concepts introduced in lecture and demonstrations.  Films and videos that demonstrate key concepts from lecture material are screened and discussed.   Audio software may include Pro Tools 8, Soundtrack Pro, Reason, or Garage Band.  Video editing software includes Final Cut Pro.
