We open a new call for our advanced assembly course led by master Jaime Estrada-Torres.<\/p>\n

The discipline of film editing goes far beyond the knowledge of an editing tool or software. The job of the editor, between technique and art, shows the best of the actors’ performance, of each dialogue, of each action, directs the viewer’s gaze through the world that the director has wanted to create, and definitely controls the rhythm and pulse of the narrative. The great directors in the history of cinema, far from pretending to be “orchestra men” and doing everything themselves, have relied on editors to help them tell, from infinite possibilities, the stories they wanted to tell. <\/p>\n

In this course we will explore the techniques of narrative editing of fiction short and feature films, since both have different rhythms, such as short stories and literary novels, and we will work on the types of editing according to film genres. The student will be taught to build from the small to the big, giving meaning to each element and level, in order to be able to carry out the definitive “third scriptwriting”. <\/p>\n
