Audiovisual Editing and Narrative for Short Films

“It is time to edit your own short film. It's time to start telling your story from a new point of view. That is really the function of the editor.

And from all this we have to draw a story that the public can understand and, above all, empathize with it. Let's review the steps to follow when editing your short film.

I hope you enjoyed the course a lot and learned enough to unleash your creativity. See you on the forum!”
