Somerset Film Introduction to Film Editing

Somerset Film’s Introduction to Film Editing is a half-day practical workshop for anyone who wants to learn the basics of editing. It is designed to build confidence through a hands-on session that shows how to start turning raw footage into a finished sequence.

No previous experience is required, and all equipment is provided.

Participants will explore the core principles of film editing, including importing and organising footage, making cuts, arranging clips on a timeline, adding music and sound, and creating a simple finished piece. The workshop also introduces a range of editing software, from accessible options through to more advanced professional tools.

Demonstrations are combined with practical exercises so attendees can try techniques for themselves and begin developing their own editing skills.
