BEST Vienna Film Academy

General description

Producing and editing film is about movement, choreography, the play of light, color, and graphics. And beyond all that, it's all about telling a story. In this course, students will learn the art and craft of shooting and editing videos.

But the main focus is not just on developing software skills; it's on exploring the magic behind the moving pictures.

Challenging exercises and hands-on learning help you to explore how to apply time-honored principles of film editing using today's digital technology.

The goal of this course is to place you in a real-world editing situation and provide a sample of what the field has to offer.

Take your movie to a professional level, and all this in a beautiful city. To this we add trips to the surroundings: to mountains, to small villages or to some cultural places. In the end you will make your BEST movie ever.

All this is done in an Austrian spirit. You will attend Austrian parties and taste our Austrian student life. The only question for you is: "Can you bring enough good mood to survive the craziness you will get into?"
