The module is designed to introduce students to the key skills of Digital editing within the field of digital film making. This includes preparation and organization of moving-image materials, the conventions of editing for narrative realist (continuity editing) and non-narrative film making, understanding of the main digital formats and codecs for import and export of moving-image files. There will also be an introduction  to  the  principles  of  audio  editing  and  colour  correction.  The understanding and development of these skills will be demonstrated via a series of short exercises using prepared materials. Students will edit using Adobe Premiere Pro. This unit will culminate in a substantial editing project based on multi-camera DSLR footage collected by students working in teams to cover a short story done by them. The edited films will be for internal university distribution only unless appropriate permissions are obtained. In addition to gaining and improving practical editing skills, students will also cement learning of film making language and techniques from other modules.

Certainly! Here’s a comprehensive handout for your course "Introduction to Digital Editing,"  focusing  on  Adobe  Premiere  Pro.  Each  section  includes  detailed explanations, practical applications, and essential concepts.
