This intensive 8-day workshop is designed for editors who are already proficient in the use of AVID or Final Cut Pro, but who have limited or no experience of drama editing.
Barrie Vince (BAFTA-award winning editor of HILLSBOROUGH and long-time collaborator with Jerzy Skolimowski, Malcolm Mowbray et al.) will introduce the narrative and dramatic concepts which inform the appropriate selection of shot and where precisely to place the cut or other transition.
The course will consist of editing both a short film and also editing from original rushes a scene from the Oscar-nominated movie THE FRENCH LIEUTENANT’S WOMAN; and two illustrated presentations.
Course Aims:
To develop an understanding of the dramatic principles which enable the editor to select appropriate material for a scene.
To gain an understanding of the principles which guide the editor in the choice of exactly where to place the cut or other transition between one shot and the next.
To learn how to prepare scripts, rushes selections, cutting orders etc. so that the editor is in full command of the material.
