Advanced Editing
Building on the basic techniques of non-linear editing this elective course serves as a logical next step in mastering Avid non-linear editing. Students study editing from an aesthetic rather than a technical perspective, to enhance editing skills beyond functional, software-driven techniques. We examine how an editor creates a sense of time, space, tone, and rhythm in a film or moving image project. Sound/image relationships, including continuity and discontinuity, and professional and non-traditional working procedures are all examined through short editing assignments.
Junior Major Production
This class is a spring semester requirement for junior Film/Video majors. In this course, students develop and refine their creative voices, with freedom to work in any time-based format to produce three completed pieces. Students creatively demonstrate both technical focus and conceptual rigor in their completed works.
