MOT 3230 Editing II

3 Hours

Prerequisites: MOT 2230

This class introduces students to the art of editing short films. There are two aspects to this class; the technical skill of editing and the storytelling side. The technical side will focus on organizing projects, how to approach a first cut, how to refund the cut and how to rearrange scenes. The second part of the class will focus on how to apply the theories of visual storytelling to make better films. Students will learn how the choices an editor makes help define and affect the emotions, characters, structure and story of a film.
