Times: 6:30pm - 9:30pm
Price: £200
Instructor: Claudia Tomaz

This hands-on creative and technical 6-sessions course uses Final Cut Pro 7 to explore the Art and Craft of Editing. This is a beginner’s class but it is designed to give you the editing skills and tools for a professional use. A basic knowledge of Mac OS is recommended. 

Editing exercises are the core of the course and will take place in each session; this will allow you to be creative while exploring editing craft and learning FCP skills. In the first 2 sessions, editing exercises use excerpts of films (documentary and fiction) to explore editing practices and make you at ease with the software; In the following classes (4 sessions) each participant creates/edit a short film out of given documentary footage.

Editing techniques and styles will be discussed through watching examples of films’ sequences and interviews with editors and filmmakers. 

FCP topics include: basic setup, settings, formats and files management; capturing and importing video and audio; various editing and trimming techniques; sound editing, sync sound with image and intro to sound-design; create title sequences and subtitles; export to DVD and internet.
