Version 1 and 2: This course is a continuation of FIL140 where students further explore the technical and aesthetic approaches to editing while editing their thesis film on Final Cut Pro. Students participate in three classes on Editing Aesthetics where they explore the difference between linear and dialectical editing, how to identify and construct action match cuts, cutting on movement, jump cuts, jump cut editing style, montage, parallel cutting, graphic match cuts, action wipes, separation, overlapping dialogue, cutting POV and reaction shots, disguising bad cuts, multi-angularity, and examining editing techniques from various scenes from features. The Sound Design classes focus on the creation of the sound design of the thesis films and delve into elements of advanced sound editing. Students also learn how to operate DVD-Studio Pro, to export their films into the compressor, and how to create menu options on  DVDs. Instructional methods include lecture and in-class demonstration and discussion.
