The Met Film School is London's leading provider of practical filmmaking courses, based at Ealing Studios.
  

Course Overview

Editing lies at the heart of filmmaking and calls for knowledge of film grammar and storytelling techniques. Our Three-Week Editing (Avid®-Certified) course will instruct you in both these areas.

You will receive high-level instruction in how to use the editing interface of Avid® Media Composer and then practise your editing skills, first by cutting the rushes to a complete, professionally made short, then by editing the rushes to scenes from a well-known feature film. If you pass the examination, you will earn a certification on completion of this course.

For more information Request A Prospectus and our enrolments team will get in touch to talk you through the course.
