The Building Blocks of Visual Storytelling

Ready to turn your raw clips into a compelling narrative? This workshop moves beyond the interface and dives into the actual craft of editing. We will walk through the essential steps of building a scene from scratch, focusing on the techniques used by professional editors to maintain flow and interest.

What We’ll Cover:

• The Intake Process: Learn how to properly ingest footage and prepare your project so you’re never hunting for "missing files."

• The Art of the Sequence: How to lay down a "Radio Cut" (your primary audio/video) to establish the spine of your story.

• Cutting for Impact: Master the timing of cutting between two shots (A-Roll) to maintain a natural, conversational rhythm.

• Layering with B-Roll: Learn the "Show, Don't Tell" rule by strategically placing B-Roll to cover cuts, add context, and enhance the emotional weight of your edit.
