Before the session#

Bring an editable first assembly, even if it is incomplete, plus your production log.

In the session#

We screen short extracts and use critique vocabulary: framing, rhythm, continuity and point of view. You leave with one revision priority and a submission checklist.

Afterwards#

Submit Assignment 1 by 5:00 pm Friday. Start noting the question you may pursue in the final project.

Further practice#

• Adobe Learn: get to know Premiere is a concise official introduction to the project, source, timeline and program-monitor workflow.
• Blackmagic Design: DaVinci Resolve training includes free project-based editing exercises if you use Resolve instead.

Reference viewing#

Watch a rough-looking short video that still holds your attention. Which story decision matters more than polish?
