College Certificate - Television and Film Post-Production

When a TV or Film editor hears those words from the director, now it’s time for the final phase of movie magic: post-production. Creative editing of footage at this stage propels the story and engages the audience. These finishing touches can include various elements of visual modifications and enhancement of the audio experience through foley sound and music. Doors slamming, glass breaking, and spine-tingling, suspenseful music that keeps us on the edge of our seats – that’s post-production alchemy.

For film and television, this is where a story completes its journey from script to screen. Skillful editing creates a compelling, cohesive multisensory experience and brings the story to life. Without post-production, there is no finished product.

This exciting program is a student's full access pass to the post-production world of film and television. Through in-depth instruction and project-based delivery, Students will have the opportunity to apply and practice sound and picture editing, colour grading, compositing and effects, sound design and mixing, and sound effects creation.

Teamwork is essential for this work, and students will have a chance to build on that through collaboration with CNA's other departments in film/television production. Students will be immersed in the production chain and apply techniques to fully realize a professional quality film edit.
