Narrative Editing

Catalog description

This course builds upon the principles of narrative editing, with a focus on the evolving grammar of cinema. In preparation for the 2nd year film, the class will examine pre-production and production strategies that insure the editor will have the optimum material for post-production. A number of creative tools used in post-production will also be explored - including the use of music, sound design, visual effects, and voice-over. Each student will then submit a short paper describing the design of his or her film with regard to the editing style.
