Overview
Advanced
Camera and Editing Techniques teaches students the camera and editing skills they need to enhance
the quality of their video storytelling.
From the Latin translation, photography is the art of writing with light; editing is joining images together to expand or compress time and alternate points of view. Advanced skills will help students make their images more compelling and their editing more dynamic. Behind these skills, students will develop their visual literacy. They will know that their work begins with a vision followed by a firm understanding about cameras, composition, continuity, editorial needs and the language of cinema. Students will also learn how to work more effectively as editors using Final Cut Pro, accelerate their work-flow, and create graphics and basic animation. Students will learn to distinguish themselves as professionals and find their creative voice, mastering the skills of visual storytelling that are original, informative and entertaining
