Description
If a film does not have the correct pitch, rhythm and tempo then the audience does not enjoy the film and the chance of the film doing well becomes bleak.
The editor of the film is the person responsible for imparting the right pitch, rhythm and tempo to the film after it has been shot by the director (with the help of the cinematographer) in small fragments called the shots. A well directed film can misfire if it is not properly edited and a moderately well directed film can become outstanding if it is properly edited.The technique of editing is the same for the big screen as well as for the small screen. Therefore there is a tremendous job potential for the editors both in film as well as television industry. We at Zima turn you into an excellent editor by giving you both theoretical as well as practical inputs into the art and the technique of film editing under the supervision of the faculty members who themselves happen to be very successful editors.
