Arts Leadership: Editing Workshop (Week 3)

Aims:
It is the third week and today we are studying Editing, I have made short films before however never really taken an active role in the editing process. So I suppose in some ways I am nervous but in other ways I am excited to finally get involved in it. I want to do some hands on work and develop a basic level of understanding about what it means to be an editor and I also want to have some level of understanding on the software. I want to know how to just cut and put together a video confidently, nothing to fancy just literally the basics. This is my target for the masterclass, wish me luck!

During the class we got simple clips of somebody running for a bus and we just had to play around with the software and the way we wanted to edit it. Everyone struggled at the start (myself included). However as it progressed, I felt proud that I had edited it all on my own! One thing that massively surprised me is how different every single persons edit of it was, they were all so different, It highlighted for me how important the editing process is in a film.

Review:
After taking part in the masterclass of editing, I feel great! I met all my aims for the lesson and now feel so much more confident to take a more active role in editing in the future, this is good as when it comes to editing I can help our editor Kyle by giving him idea's and tips. One thing I am taking from this lesson that will help me in the future is just how important organisation is when it comes to editing.
