CIN 2301 - Basic Video Editing

Credits: 4
This course is designed to teach the theory and practice of digital video editing including capturing images and sound; manipulating them on a time line; designing titles, transitions, and effects; and finally outputting the project tape, web or DVD. Each student is required to script, shot-list, cast, and shoot a short, original narrative, and then electronically manipulate the sound and images to explore the vast flexibility of the medium, gain a greater understanding of how an editor generates causality, and develop a recognition of the connection between one’s own edit technique and successful story telling.
