From Set to Screen: The Process of Scripted Narrative Film Editing

Limited spots available!

Just because the shoot has done doesn't mean you're done crafting your story. Scripted narrative editing happens in post-production, and it can affect the story just as much as any writer can on the page. This is the final step to nail your story, so make sure you have the tools you need with help from an award-winning, expert editor.

With limited spaces, you'll have targeted assistance for your needs through feedback with one of the best editors in the business, Won Novalis. The craft of scripted narrative editing has its own rules, tips, and tricks, and they kick off the moment the film has wrapped. With Won's guidance using the industry-standard Adobe Premiere Pro, you will learn editing from import through the locked cut. You'll also receive templates that you can use on your own productions and learn the mindset of a narrative editor through real-life footage from professional productions. Won will also give you the chance to ask questions and get feedback on your editing and organization. This support doesn't end with in-class time. You can rewatch the recordings on-demand and be able to reach out to Won outside of the lab.

Won brings over 14 years of experience in film, television, commercials, and short films, working with such commercial clients as GE, United Way, and others. You'll walk away with universal principles and techniques that you can scale for projects big and small, including optimizations tools for your editing and reviewing process to save you time and stress.

From organization and overlooked project settings, to your first assembly, to tracking your cuts and refining edits, all the way through exporting, you're sure to step your storytelling skills no matter your current level. Whether you're editing your own or someone else's short film or feature, you'll have a professional understanding of the process of scripted narrative film editing.
