CERTIFICATE COURSE IN AUDIO AND VIDEO EDITING

COURSE DURATION 3 Months

The craft of editing consists of selecting, combining, and trimming sounds and visual images after they have been recorded. In the digital age, editing can take place during both production and postproduction. while additional images and sounds are being recorded on location, even at great distances from the postproduction site, editing decisions can be shared between editing and production personnel via the Internet or satellite links. Editing can take place sequentially according to the production schedule or the script, or the editing of different sections or different components of a film or television program, such as sound effects, music, dialogue, and title sequences, can be done simultaneously and in parallel. Just as digital editing technologies are replacing analog technologies, parallel filmmaking and editing is replacing serial postproduction. Utilizing parallel editing techniques, directors and editors can continue to refine their editing decisions up until the last minute.
