APPROACH
Theoretical/project based

This course aims at developing knowledge and skills in the editing and post-production phase. Working on images represents the starting point to go in-depth

on the semiotic implications of the different forms of realism and belief regimes that are concerned, in order to develop articulated considerations about the potential and the testimony as well as the ethic limits of images when they request their audience to believe what they see. The potential of editing is investigated in

its emotional and rhythmic form, and in its spatial and temporal reconstruction. The course also provides the students with practical professional competencies in

managing and carrying out the editing and post-production phases of audio-visual projects.

The programme consists of one single module, which grants 6 credits.

Successful students will be able to:

• Develop a critical approach to editing

• Manage complex editing projects

• Operate accurately in the editing and post-production phase

• Adopt suitable methodology in the post-production workflow

• Editing theory

• Emotion, sense and story in editing

• Rhythm, space and time

• Use of archive material

• Use of editing software advanced

• Post-production work-flow

• Introduction to colour correction

This is a theoretical/project based course.
