Physical Editing - Course

The course Physical Editing – film and movement based storytelling meet in the edit room for five weeks.

The course will cover working with a story without text, what happens to the movement in the room/body/viewer when it is filmed and displayed in filmed form, what happens to the movement through the editing of sound and picture, what that does to the story and what the story does to the viewer.

We will be watching, listening and editing (your own or material provided). How do we analyze what we do and have done? What does space, time, movement, rhythm and flow mean in the editing?  During the course we will present, analyze, reflect and have workshops in groups as well as work independently with supervision.

The course is on advanced level, full time and is based on attendance 9 to 4 Tuesday to Friday with a clear progression from week to week and collaboration within the group. 

Teacher is Kersti Grunditz Brennan, Assistant professor of film editing.

Studies during Corona.

    If you are a Swedish citizen or a citizen of another EU or EEA country you are not required to pay application or tuition fees. Some other groups are also exempt from the requirement to pay application and study fees.

    A few years ago Sweden introduced application and tuition fees for higher education. The level of the study fees depends on which course/programme they are for, and the level is set in order to cover the actual costs of the course/programme in question. SKH has some possibilities of offering scholarships that cover the whole study fee or that subsidise it.

    If you are required to pay an application fee, the Swedish Council for Higher Education needs to receive your payment by the last date forpaying the tuition fee. The application fee is SEK 900. If you are required to pay the application fee and the Swedish Council for Higher Education has not received your payment by the last date for paying the tuition fee, they will not process your application.

    The tuition fee for the courses is 81 000 SEK.
