FILM 007 — Film Editing Units: 3
A movie is made three times: when it's written; when it's shot; when it's edited. Jean Luc Goddard said, "Film is truth at twenty four frames per second," and no one knows this better than a film editor. He or she must decide frame by frame where the audience needs to be in relation to the story. Stay in a shot or transition to another and if so, what shot and how to get there? Working side-by-side with the director to craft the movie that ultimately hits the screen, large or small, editing is about manipulating the audience, in the best possible way, in the service of storytelling. In this immersive class, students study the terminology and concepts of narrative film editing. Students experience hands-on the film editing process, learning aesthetic principles of narrative continuity editing and the technological workflow for picture and sound editing.
