There are three key events in the life of a film or television series: the script, the shoot and the edit. Editing is where it all comes together; where meaning is created through cutting sound and picture. This is the decisive moment when a screen story can finally be told.
While editing is at the heart of this film, television editing and post production course in London, you will develop a diverse skillset across the post production spectrum. You will build skills in visual effects, colour grading, audio post, screen graphics, shoot and edit and broadcast technology. The Integrated Foundation Year inclusion will help you explore essential industry skills before you embark on Year 2 of this course.
You’ll be guided by industry practitioners and guest speakers using a mix of problem-based learning, practical workshops, lectures and masterclasses.

You will also gain skills in post-production technology and media management, which will provide the technical backbone of your craft.
Throughout your learning journey, you will have access to high quality, professionally shot rushes across all genres from factual to drama, and from promos to news packages. You will take on live commissions and collaborate with students across other courses.

Without a degree from Ravensbourne I don’t think I would have been able to get a foot in anywhere initially. The tutors helped so much with learning all the skills in AVID and the craft of editing, which really made a big difference when I started doing it for a living.”
