Description

In this course, students will learn the art of cinematic editing and learn to recognize the impact of continuity and discontinuity editing. For two hours per week, the course will focus on looking at specific films that creatively engage editing techniques; for the remaining hour each week, students will learn the basics of editing language by putting together their own short sequences. Prior knowledge of editing is not required, but those students with some editing experience will also be able to engage anew with editing by learning from the masters of the trade in the history of cinema.

This course is closed for registration.
