Video editing is a essential and often overlooked skill nowadays. More and more people need video for their business, carreers, hobbies or other personal projects, and the easier way to make a video go from amateur looking to professional looking is to improve the quality of the editing. Besides that, things like a good workflow, asset organization and other good practices when editing will speed up the edit and make the process as a whole more efficient.

In my classes, I believe in understanding the student's needs for video editing and thus curating the content I teach to fit those needs.

This class can help you work towards English Language/Literature/Creative Writing qualifications at many different levels, hopefully inspiring you to pursue a university education or career in this field.
