The Department of Mass Communication and Video Production at Gossner College concluded its seven-day Video Editing Workshop. The workshop was organised in preparation for Gossner Cine Fest 5.0. Its main objective was to strengthen students’ practical editing skills.
Students participated in hands-on training sessions throughout the week. The workshop focused on sound design, colour grading, and advanced editing techniques. It aimed to bridge the gap between theory and professional practice.
Session on Sound Design and Audio Techniques
On the final day, Prof. Tej Mundu conducted a detailed session on Foley sound, equaliser sound, and sound filters. He explained how editors can increase or decrease audio levels using sound filters. He also showed how adjusting frequency improves poor-quality recordings.
Furthermore, he demonstrated how unclear or damaged audio can become balanced and pleasant. In addition, he introduced different types of microphones. He explained their proper use in studio recordings, interviews, and field production.
Advanced Video Editing Techniques
Meanwhile, Prof. Shahbaz trained students in advanced editing methods. He explained colour correction techniques that improve visual quality. He also discussed how editors maintain consistency in footage.
Moreover, he demonstrated the use of green screen for background replacement. He guided students on adding synchronized sound to videos. He also explained J-cut and L-cut techniques. These methods help create smooth and natural transitions.
Practical Learning Experience
The workshop provided valuable hands-on experience. As a result, students gained confidence in handling professional editing software. It also prepared them for upcoming projects under Gossner Cine Fest 5.0.
