Who enrolls in editing
As an art of storytelling, editing is an inherent part of film. Actually, it is that which distinguishes film from other arts. Editing is a combination of creativity and technology knowledge by which a cinematographic work is shaped. It is one of the most important processes in the production of all audiovisual works.
The Editing Group is intended for future students who want to explore and shape their creative potentials, improve their artistic expression skills and gain knowledge about the application of technology in creating audiovisual works.What kind of job can you do after your studies?
In the era of digital media and virtual cyberspace, the job of an editor gives you opportunities to work from any location all over the world. There are numerous fields in which highly educated and creatively trained editors are needed - film and television production, dynamic visual designs of the modern media environment, and computer multimedia processing. These are the fields that are constantly expanding and innovating as the same time as the civilizational importance of modern audiovisual communications based on 'moving images'.
STUDIES
01. CYCLE
The first-cycle studies (Bachelor’s studies) last four years, namely, eight semesters. The teaching process is conducted through obligatory and optional subjects, which carry out 240 ECTS. The title gained after the studies is Bachelor of Arts in editing.
During their studies, our students develop professional knowledge and skills, imagination, and essential knowledge to implement cinematographic and other audiovisual works. Also, they are educated to use the most modern theoretical and aesthetic knowledge about the functioning of film as a piece of art. At the same time, with the curriculum, these studies follow the technical and technological changes brought by the development of digital technology and the film industry. After completing four−year Bachelor’s studies, our students gain subject-specific abilities to perform professional, scientific, and artistic activities. Finally, they are professionally qualified for editing both image and sound in film and television.
STUDIES
02. CYCLE
The second-cycle studies (Master’s studies) last one year or two years. The duration depends on whether the student has completed three-year or four-year Bachelor’s studies. Successful mastering of all study obligations leads to the title of Master of Arts in TV and Film Editing - 300 ECTS
Studies focus on the editing of art forms in all film types. After completing Master’s studies, students gain competencies to implement the most complex audiovisual forms. These competencies are based on developed knowledge in editing considering drama elements such as the organization of visual and sound dynamic forms to induce emotions and emit creative sensibility through the author’s films during the studies and the training for individual education after the completion of the studies. Besides, students gain technological competencies to implement complex audiovisual forms. The base for these competencies is the strict respect of all the standards during the implementation of difficult practice lessons, examination films, practical parts of final work, the application of creative possibilities of the equipment, and teamwork loyalty to carry out complex audiovisual forms.
