Masterclass Julia Juániz
Dreams and dreamers' Editing
I am always trying to convey the idea that you have to find that desire of wanting to make films, and to acquire the knowledge to be able to express yourself through cinematographic images. Editing a film is about giving meaning to the filmed images, it is about rewriting the script, redefining the structure of the film. Always in collaboration with the director.
In this meeting, we will talk about:
· History of the evolution of film editing.
· Differences between editing fiction and documentaries.
· Different styles of editing.
We will watch clips, compare the first and the final editing and explain why such decisions are made, even though there are no fixed rules.
But we must always think about how we tell the story, considering the different elements and understanding how it affects the emotions of the audience.
