Picture editing · 8-week programme
Cut toward the moment the viewer understands.
Learn to turn interviews, scenes and documentary material into a sequence with purpose. The programme is built around a single short project, so each lesson has an immediate place in the work.

What you will practise
We begin with selection: how to review footage and find the useful actions, glances and pauses. From there, learners build an assembly, test rhythm and shape a sequence for a defined audience.
Tutors demonstrate shortcuts and software habits only when they serve a storytelling decision. The focus remains on what the cut is doing.
