Students are introduced to the fundamentals of video editing, premiere pro, editing techniques, story structure, video cameras and formats, editing action & dialogue, and the director’s cut.

The fourth week is devoted to shooting and editing the first 4 week film project, culminating in the final screening. The second 4 week (Intensive On-Set training) is a 100% practical approach, designed to immerse the students in the world of professional editing for Film and Television.
