OCN editing level 2

VIDEO POST-PRODUCTION level 2

The aim of this course is to enable students to use editing tools to enable more reflective and precise edits. We shall discuss and practice more advanced techniques used by professional editors.

This course seeks to outline the tools used when editing with Final Cut Pro (e.g. Markering, timeline editing, storyboard editing). There shall be times where reflections on learners edits and sample clips shall be recorded, it is hoped that a range of subjects and editing styles shall be engaged with. This course acts as a solid grounding in post produciton theory and practice and should assist learners when editing either for themselves or others in the future.
