Intro to Final Project at Uni

 In the final projects students usually specialise in a certain stage of filmmaking. For my final project my choice of specialism is going to be Editing. Since starting the course it has always been my intention to specialize in it as in every production I’ve worked on, it’s been my favorite part of the process and it’s generally what I consider myself best at. I haven’t yet had the opportunity to specialize in editing yet as a lot of the directors last year wanted to edit their own projects, but I think a dedicated editor is something the group needs after all the projects where people have done everything themselves and haven’t quite hit the potential they should’ve had.


I will be editing on Scott Thompsons “The Pen Snatcher”, Chris Coles's production “A Pube In the Butter”,and  Charles Keen has approached me about his film "If You're Watching This" I'm also a backup Camera Op on Lewis Jowers's "One in a Thousand"


While most of the pre-production is being done, i'll be learning to use Avid Media Composer as a new challenge in editing since i'm already confident in Premiere Pro. And i'll be turning up to shoots and taking prodution stills with my camera once production starts, then for post production i'll me in the driving seat. I'm looking forward to it since theyres a range of different styles of film being made. I'll update as the projects go on. Thanks Guys!
