Presentation
Presentation
The Editing and Post-Production course unit develops core skills in editing, pacing, continuity, and finishing, focusing on the specific needs of animation (reading through poses/motion, timing, action clarity, and the image-sound relationship). The unit combines cinematographic language with post-production practices (basic color correction, effects, and stabilization), preparing students for contemporary production workflows. Practical work uses industry-standard editing and post tools, with emphasis on Adobe Premier as the main environment for post-production and online.

Objectives
Objectives
Students are expected to: Apply cinematographic language to the editing of animation sequences (pacing, ellipsis, continuity, readability, and intent). Plan post-production workflows: project organization, versioning, exports, and quality control. Perform basic editing and post tasks: essential color correction, masks, simple effects, stabilization, and basic tracking. Build an effective image-sound relationship (sync, dynamics, silence, and timing reinforcement in animation). Critically assess the final result and justify technical and narrative decisions.

Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
Project Based Learning (PBL): short exercises and two practical assignments (editing and post-production), based on animation materials, when possible. Demo + supervised practice: in-class technical demos followed by guided execution. Guided critique (dailies): version reviews and iteration with feedback on readability, pacing, continuity, and consistency. Animation and live action references: clip analysis to discuss editing and finishing choices across styles and genres.
