How can cutting a film shape the story? Let's find out with a true professional as we learn, discuss, and play!
Plus, if you’re joining us for the five-week intensive filmmaking workshop co-hosted by ICEX and Oscar-nominated producer and filmmaker Anji, this session will serve as a perfect foundation for the editing techniques we’ll be diving deeper into later.
Have you ever wondered how editing can turn raw footage into a cinematic masterpiece? Or how sometimes, one cut can either make or break a film? In this club, ICEX, an award-winning sound designer, film editor, and musician, will lead us through the fascinating world of editing. Alongside a series of fun and hands-on activities, we’ll explore the magic of montage—how combining images, sounds, and scenes can create entirely new meanings. Through examples and interactive discussions, we’ll dive into how editing doesn’t just shape the pacing, but the entire narrative of a film.
We'll also look at how editing can fix or totally destroy a movie—yes, it's that powerful! And if you’ve ever caught yourself rolling your eyes at Hollywood’s editing clichés, you’re not alone. Together, we’ll analyze common editing tropes and explore how filmmakers use (or misuse) them to manipulate emotions, build tension, or create comedic moments.
Let’s sit back, get creative, and see how the art of editing can change everything you thought you knew about storytelling on screen!
