How the assembly course works

If this is your first assembly lesson, we’ll start by getting to know your current equipment, so that we can adapt our working methods and optimize your machine for your intended use.

Then we’ll look at the basic concepts of video editing, such as temporal and spatial continuity, the choice of shots and camera angles, and the use of music and sound effects to create atmosphere. The aim of this step would be to give students a basic understanding of video editing principles and their importance in creating coherent and engaging videos.

We then spend some time learning the interface and video editing tools.

Then we move on to practice, checking that we’ve understood and correctly applied the various techniques taught.

We want our students to fully master the various processes, and this sometimes means repeating actions.

Homework and progress monitoring

Most of the work is done when we’re not there, and yes! You’ll have homework to do! This will enable you to get to grips with your technology and use it on your own.

Example of real-life application: create a short film or promotional video, putting into practice everything they’ve learned so far.

Then, at the next appointment, we can look at the various difficulties encountered and help you to overcome them.

Learn, train, progress, have fun!

This is our teaching method, guaranteeing 100% progress.
