Employment is the single most important factor in reducing recidivism. Even just 30 days of employment can lower the recidivism rate by more than 50%. But lower recidivism is just one measure of success.

Video Editing and Post-Production Course

 

In The Last Mile’s Video Editing & Post-Production (VEP) Course, students develop the core skills necessary to secure an apprenticeship in digital video and multimedia industries. Building on their work in the Digital Audio Production Course, students also edit a series of portfolio projects using footage materials from actual productions, demonstrating their newly developed expertise in post-production.

Over the course of ten units, students follow a typical production cycle as they learn about the fundamentals of digital media, basic shot composition, editing techniques, principles of motion graphic design, and more. Concurrently, they learn to use DaVinci Resolve, a robust and adaptable software application used to manipulate video, audio, color, and even visual effects. Students use this software, and the diverse knowledge they acquired across both DAP and VEP, to create several video projects that replicate practices and client requests relevant to the creative workforce.

The entire course takes approximately six months from start to finish and concludes after the completion of two Assembly Projects, three Final Cut Projects, and a Final Exam.
