c.3.3.3 digital video creation and editing
From raw footage to viral hit. Master the timeline in non-linear editing software to cut clips, add transitions, and grade colour for a cinematic look.
You’ve filmed the footage, but the real movie is made in the edit. Digital Video Editing is about taking hours of raw clips and assembling them into a story people actually want to watch. Using a timeline, you’ll learn to slice up video, sync it with audio (so the lips move with the words), and add professional touches like transitions and titles. We also demystify frame rates (why 60fps looks smoother than 24fps) and resolution (4K vs 1080p), ensuring your final export looks crisp whether it’s on a cinema screen or a smartphone.
🧐 Sorry, I looked and there is nothing to see.
Digital video creation blends creative storytelling with complex, non-linear timeline management. This progression maps the pedagogical journey from basic, linear video capture at Key Stage 1, through to the core structural mechanics of non-linear editing (NLE) and audio synchronisation at Key Stage 3. At Key Stage 4 and 5, the curriculum rapidly scales into professional post-production standards, requiring students to master mathematical frame rates, spatial aspect ratios, chroma key compositing, and cinematic colour grading. By treating video editing as a highly technical, multi-layered discipline, students transition from casual content consumers to sophisticated media producers.
