preparing to edit

steps to take in planning & production for editing your video

This limited workshop series is intended to establish a foundation for filmmakers preparing for their first documentary or narrative film project. So many artists jump in head first into making movies without really considering all the small but significant aspects of what is needed in order for editing to go smoothly. These sessions will focus on building a foundational understanding of the connected relationships between script, production planning, photography and editing.

Start with the Script

A presentation about critical considerations related to the scriptwriting process and production planning that can have an impact on the editing process.

This session provides a deep dive into how camera settings, lighting, continuity and framing decisions ultimately can lead to a quality post-production experience.
