Videography/Editing classes

what colleges/schools have good videography and editing coarses?what kind of coarses would i need to take to get into the editing business?

Im also interested in a school to improve my experiences with film making. Im 16 in high school and it would be good to get a head start looking into these things. :)

Check your local county colleges. They often have an art program which will offer videography and post-production classes.

Also, I get catalogs from a school in Maine that teaches these and many other subjects. I'm sure other states have such schools. Google for some.

ok thanks.still a ways away from college, 3 more years.i just want to start looking for a good video school

Pick up a copy of Videomaker magazine or go to www.videomaker.com
they always have seminars listed or type in "video editing workshops" )with the quotes) and take your pick. Most (I assume) will focus on either Premiere or Final Cut but all will give you the basics of shooting/lighting/sound and editing.

i know the basics of shooting/lighting/sound and editing and im pretty familiar with premeire and after effects.i just want to start looking into colleges with good videography/post-production classes since i'll be graduating high school in two years

Go to the counselors at your school. Tell them what you want to do. They should have all the info you need. And don't take "no" for an answer. It's their job to help students find the colleges that fit their needs.

Good luck.

well i've found a few schools that i would like to look into:BCC,Full Sail,New York Film Academy,Saddleback College,and The College of Santa Fe.has anyone gone to any of these schools before?they all claim to have top of the line videography and post production equipment

I picked up a catalog from The International Film Workshops, Rockland, Maine (www.filmworkshops.com). They have many 1, 2, and 4 week summer courses that cover eveything from directing, writing, producing, acting, editing, and many more. There's also a 7-week work study program.

They are associated with Rockland College which offers 2 and 3-year degrees.

Good luck.
