Core Focus: Editing decisions, storytelling, and real-world film editing workflow
What you will learn?
This program focuses on three core editorial pillars:
How editors read footage and choose what to use
How editors evaluate footage and make judgment calls on shot selection.
How scenes are shaped through cutting, timing, and rhythm
How pacing, emotion, and story flow are controlled through editorial decisions.
How a full edit evolves from first cut to final cut
How edits are reviewed, refined, and improved through feedback and re-editing.
The focus always stays on decision-making — not shortcuts or presets.
