Good editing is about two things: knowing your tools and how to best use them, and knowing how to structure a sequence so it flows flawlessly. In this course we will look at both of these aspects in more detail, exploring Final Cut Pro's advanced tools and techniques, and considering how to structure and create a successful narrative. We will use supplied clips and work on at least one portfolio piece.

Periodically there will be forum sessions where we will look at each other’s work to discuss different aspects of editing and filmmaking and the post-production process. Asking questions and commenting is encouraged at all times. Handbooks, manuals and worksheets are available. Please note we will be working on Apple Mac computers.
