Visual Communication Design

After an introduction to short film editing and montage theories, students will learn advanced editing techniques in Adobe Premiere. Camera movements and usage will be taught digitally using Blender, where students will simulate and animate camera motions. Footage from Blender will be imported into Premiere, integrating green screen techniques, allowing students to experience a comprehensive and complex digital editing workflow.
