Course description

This course is a further elaboration of the principles and techniques of editing various types of visual and aural material, using the Avid Express workstations in the Digital Editing Lab. We will discuss aesthetic, technical, and practical approaches within the cinematic and allied traditions and consider how they might best apply to some (provided) editing challenges. In particular, we'll address the concept of editing style in all types of media.
