Overview of class
Over the quarter, students will spend a majority of their time endeavoring hands-on editing practice with non-linear editing software through in-class workshops, weekly video editing exercises, and 3 major editing projects that are to be completed outside of class. Projects will cover a range of editing techniques and organizational practices found in short form and feature length documentary, narrative, and experimental films. The screening of short films and a selection of feature length films will play an important role in shaping an understanding of editing practices which are supported by assigned readings and in-class discussions.
