4-Week Digital Editing Workshop | New York Film Academy

OVERVIEW

The Four-Week Digital Editing Workshop was designed to serve the needs of students from a wide array of professional, personal and educational backgrounds. It is a full-time, intensive workshop that meets during the day. For students contemplating a longer-term education in editing or a career in the industry, it is an excellent introduction to the field. This course gives students the necessary skills to edit with Media Composer and a theoretical toolset for approaching different projects.

The workshop explores theoretical and technical approaches to editing. Students are provided footage to edit various projects over the course: a music video, trailer, short documentary, and a short narrative scene. Each day consists of approximately three hours of class and three hours of supervised lab time. Lab time is part of the schedule, and allows the students to utilize the skills they have acquired. At the end of the course students will have a completed demo reel, which will be a compilation of all of their work. They may also take an Avid Certified User exam.
