About the project

Challenge, approach and results.

Picture editing is the creation of meaning that is not objectively present in individual shots; we obtain it only through the organisation of shots in a particular audiovisual product.

Solution and Method

Picture editing is the creation of meaning that is not objectively present in individual shots; we obtain it only through the organisation of shots in a particular audiovisual product. Through editing, that is, through the sequencing of individual shots and determining their duration, we establish the rhythm of the film, its message, idea, meaning… The creation of an idea is undoubtedly the most important task of editing.

To present an idea that will be comprehensible to the viewer, we use film language. The diploma thesis consists of two parts. In the first part of the thesis, the student compiled knowledge and insights from several authors of professional works in the field of film and television editing.

It contains the fundamentals of film language, principles and guidelines for editing. In the second part, the student described the principle of using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 software and the editing of a specific example using this programme. In its final form, the thesis will be presented as a manual intended for students and the wider population for acquiring fundamental knowledge and experience in the field of video editing.
