Introduction

The Master’s Degree in Film Editing offers comprehensive training aimed at understanding and mastering the language of editing as a fundamental narrative, expressive, and technical tool in audiovisual creation. Through a balance of theory, practice, and critical reflection, the program prepares professionals capable of confidently addressing the artistic, technological, and ethical challenges of contemporary audiovisual production.

Practical training focuses on mastering the main professional editing software and on managing the entire post-production workflow. Students develop skills in editing, color correction, visual effects, and sound, learning to integrate the soundtrack as a key element for emotion, atmosphere, and the narrative coherence of each project.

In addition, the master’s program encourages research capacity and analytical reflection, promoting the creation of original projects and the development of rigorous academic work. Professional internships allow students to integrate into real working environments, develop time management, communication, and teamwork skills, and gain first-hand knowledge of the dynamics and demands of the audiovisual sector.

Methodology

The learning activities of the Master’s program are as follows

Written work
- includes reports and written papers. These activities allow students to develop research, analysis, and writing skills. Reports and papers usually document the processes and results of research or practical work.
Applied activities
- involve the practical application of theoretical knowledge in real or simulated situations. Their objective is to consolidate theoretical learning through practical experience.
Oral presentation
- involves presenting a topic verbally to an audience. This activity develops communication skills, organization of ideas, and stress management. Oral presentations may be individual or group-based and usually include the use of visual resources such as slides.
Work with information sources
- includes searching for information, reading documents, and watching videos. This type of activity fosters research and critical analysis skills. Students learn to identify, evaluate, and synthesize relevant information from different sources.
Independent learning
- refers to the process in which students manage their own learning. It includes the planning, execution, and evaluation of independent study activities. This type of learning promotes self-discipline, responsibility, and self-assessment skills.

Teaching methodologies

Lecture (masterclass)
- the instructor transmits knowledge directly to students. During these sessions, the lecturer presents structured information on a specific topic using resources such as slides, whiteboards, and audiovisual materials.
Practical sessions
- these take place in computer labs using digital documents or in studios and outdoor locations with audiovisual equipment. They allow students to apply theoretical knowledge in a controlled environment. During these sessions, students work directly with software and other digital resources or with audiovisual recording equipment to solve specific problems or carry out concrete tasks. This methodology encourages active learning and the development of technical skills, as students experiment and practice in real time. It also facilitates the understanding of abstract concepts through practice.
Project-based learning
- a methodology that involves students in the development of projects addressing real and relevant problems. Students research, plan, and execute projects, applying knowledge from different areas.
