If you’re the editor, every choice you make is key to what the viewer feels. Because SVA Film is intensely collaborative, our editors develop a writer’s understanding of story; a DP’s eye for image, composition and color; and a director’s sense of performance and pacing.

• You learn how to cut for emotion, pacing and rhythm, while mastering each application, and keeping current with the constant change of technology in postproduction.
• You take editing classes in the two leading postproduction applications, Avid and Final Cut Pro. Courses focus on fundamental editing artistry and techniques as well as technical expertise in the software and hardware.
• You work in two state-of-the-art editing labs, one focused on Final Cut Pro and the other on Avid. The labs feature top-of-the-line Macs to put the finishing touches onyour projects. We also feature a select number of private editing suites for Thesis and upperclassmen.

While editing has always been the bottom-line in cinematic storytelling, new technologies have fundamentally changed the way we understand movies. The art of editing is being reshaped to create new and evolving film languages.

Today, the power is in post.
