Every film goes through three stages pre-production, production and post-production. Post Production is the rewarding creative activity that can make a good film or television programme great and if you choose to work as an editor, ultimately its your version that hits the screen. This is the final, and often most creative stage of the process.

You will be working with various source materials, from Hollywood films, and prime-time TV, to footage you shoot yourself. Futureworks collaborates with producers throughout the country to get its students high-class broadcast standard footage in a wide range of genres. In doing this our students replicate real programmes previously shown at the cinema and on TV, giving them a perfect grounding for life in the post-production industry.
