EditMentor Presents: The Motivated Cut
Cutting may appear to be the most basic task an editor has to do, but deciding precisely where to place the cut is a specialized skill. All filmmakers focus on intentional and invisible cuts to ensure continuity.
In this session, you’ll review some of the Rules of Continuity using EditMentor, a unique online teaching system. We will review how to:
- Explore how motivation has a role in edit decisions
- Demonstrate how to use visual, audio, and/or dialogue cues to determine edit points
- Recognize the value of the 30 Degree Rule for story continuity
Plus, you will get an inside look at the revolutionary tool that is teaching students the Art of Storytelling. EditMentor features a learn-by-doing approach with challenges and instant feedback.
All attendees will receive a login to EditMentor to try it out after the session.
