Story Arcs: What Every Creative Editor Needs to Know

by Paddy Bird on
November 11, 2021

What is a Story Arc? Are they important? How do we build one on our timeline? Very important questions for us to ask as creative editors. But for me they only scratch the surface of the things we need to consider when crafting high end films.

As visual storytellers we need to concern ourselves with many different types of arcs that are never really talked about in the editing world. And so to kick off Season 3 of Once Upon a Timeline we’re going to demystify, breakdown and explain everything you need to consider when designing these crucial narrative structures.

BOOTCAMP

The Power Of Music Editing: Part 1

Saturday, Dec 4, 3PM GMT

Music is one of the most powerful forces on the human consciousness. It is also one of the greatest weapons an editor can have when crafting the emotional journey of the audience. A perfectly scored scene can make our viewers laugh, cry, shock them or break their hearts.

However, next to nothing is taught about the actual rules of how to cut music to a professional level. Search the internet and you’ll find very little in the way of music editing theory and techniques.

This is why we’ve developed a series of 2 hour, live Bootcamps dedicated to mastering this little known part of the art of editing.
