If you’re wondering what footage to leave in and what to cut, think beyond the keyboard shortcut and explore the artistic side of video editing! Professional editing is more than just software skills – make more efficient editing choices and you’ll have a better video.

This workshop examines documentary editing, cutting interviews and supporting those interviews with B-roll. We’ll work through multiple examples together, building a sense of how editing directly impacts the story you tell.

This workshop will cover:

• Isolating good sound bites and selects from longer interviews
• Organizing interviews to best tell your story
• Trimming out pauses and flubs
• Rearranging interviews within your sequence
• Smoothing out tough edits
• Cutting in B-roll to support your story
• Pacing your story
