Summary of the courseClass Goals Students will identify emotional beats and use the craft of editing to reinforce these moments. While first editing to tell the story as clearly and concisely, we will then learn to establish a Point of View in the editing. Much of the semester will be hands on editing from the first stages of post-production through the final moments before picture lock. We will work to make the students aware of how to prepare a project to be handed off to a post house for on-lining-. Attendance & Participation Policies All assignments are due promptly at the beginning of class; late assignments will not be accepted. Two unexcused absences yields a failing grade. Editing requires getting your hands on equipment as well as asking questions-do both as often as possible. Materials At least two mini-DV tapes. A format to back up EDLs (zip disk, jump/flashdrive, cd-r). A firewire or USB2 drive at least 40 gigs. Textbooks and printed resourcesMurch, Walter. In the Blink of an Eye: a Perspective on Film Editing. Silman-James Press. Los Angeles, 2001. Bayes, Steve. The Avid Handbook (3rd ed.). Focal Press. Boston, 2000.

Detailed feedback will enable the instructor to continuously tailor teaching methods and course content to meet the learning goals of the course and the academic needs of the students. They are a requirement of the course and are key to continue to provide you with the highest quality of teaching. The evaluations are anonymous; the instructor and administration do not track who entered what responses. A program is used to check if the student completed the evaluations, but the evaluation is completely separate from the student’s identity. Since 100% participation is our goal, students are sent periodic reminders over two weeks. Students do not receive reminders once they complete the evaluation. Students complete the evaluation online at https://mycti.cti.depaul.edu/mycti Email is the primary means of communication between faculty and students enrolled in this course outside of class time. Students should be sure their email listed under "demographic information" at http://campusconnect.depaul.edu is correct. Academic Integrity PolicyThis course will be subject to the academic integrity policy passed by faculty. More information can be found at http://academicintegrity.depaul.edu/ PlagiarismThe university and school policy on plagiarism can be summarized as follows: Students in this course should be aware of the strong sanctions that can be imposed against someone guilty of plagiarism. If proven, a charge of plagiarism could result in an automatic F in the course and possible expulsion. The strongest of sanctions will be imposed on anyone who submits as his/her own work any assignment which has been prepared by someone else. If you have any questions or doubts about what plagiarism entails or how to properly acknowledge source materials be sure to consult the instructor.
IncompleteAn incomplete grade is given only for an exceptional reason such as a death in the family, a serious illness, etc. Any such reason must be documented. Any incomplete request must be made at least two weeks before the final, and approved by the Dean of the College of Computing and Digital Media. Any consequences resulting from a poor grade for the course will not be considered as valid reasons for such a request. Resources for Students with DisabilitiesStudents who feel they may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact the instructor privately to discuss their specific needs. All discussions will remain confidential. To ensure that you receive the most appropriate accommodation based on your needs, contact the instructor as early as possible in the quarter (preferably within the first week of class), and make sure that you have contacted either:
