AWARD-WINNING EDITING FOR FILM & POST-PRODUCTION!
SANDRA & JOSEPH CONSENTINO Master Class Presenters
Saturday Noon-2:PM Evergreen Room
Film editing is an art that can be used in diverse ways. It can create provocative montages; become a laboratory for experimental cinema; bring out the emotional truth in a story or subject matter; create a point of view of events; guide the telling and pace of a story; create an illusion; give emphasis to things that would not have otherwise been noted; and even create a vital subconscious emotional connection to the viewer, among many other possibilities.In this important master class, you will learn about post-production(Editing): selecting your non-linear editing system – AVID, Final Cut Pro & etc., researching and licensing stills and video, scanning still images and bringing videotape into the non-linear editing system and edit for order and length. You’ll also learn about how to prepare the script for the narration (voice-over), selecting the music composer or stock music and sound effects (as needed), adding titles and graphics where needed, & adding in creative end-credits, images, sound, foley, dubbing, special effects, background ambience, film score music, lab work, & color correction. (Workshop seating is limited to 25)
