Course Brief

Post-production involves the gathering together of raw footage, graphics, images and sound to create a finished production. The editing process for film and television is usually one of the final stages of the production process, and where an overarching creative vision comes to fruition.
An organised and professional edit, using the conventions and skills developed by editors over many years can produce creative, imaginative and professional results. The collaborative relationship between the editor and the director is key to the outcome of the production and the media industry has many examples of successful
editor/director partnerships.
This unit gives students the opportunity to engage with the processes and practices of film and video editing. Students will learn how to create edits to set mood, communicate information, and create suspense, structure and meaning for their productions.
