Lights, Camera, Action! … and Editing! Regarded by many filmmakers as one of the most important aspects of filmmaking, film editing is the art of assemblage and manipulation for time based media. No film would ever see the light of day without a masterful team of editors. Young artists will learn what happens behind the lights and cameras to create a compelling film.
Students will learn to edit with Final Cut Pro X, record and edit sound in Garage Band, and get an introduction to the world of visual effects. The class will focus on group projects as well as individual explorations. They will make their images brighter, cut and reshuffle their footage, and create amazingly textured Foley sound for their short narrative or experimental films!
