Platforms

At the university we have the mac lab and we also have avid suites.

There are also a few other options though.  I have heard good things about Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere Pro.  There are also a few other lesser known and used programs such as Magix and Video Studio.I could use a couple of different programs to test the capibilty and ease of use etc.

Editing

I have decided to do editing as a final year craft.  I will hope to possibly edit my final film and have an input on somebody else's.

Editing was always something I was interested in and good at doing when I was young and just messed around with home movies and movie maker, so hopefully I have made the right choice.  

Sound

There seems to be a lot of people needing sound for their projects so it seems like a good way to go as you would get a lot of use with it.

However, I have done sound on a number of shoots and although I know you can go a long way with it and the point of this module is to improve a craft, I do get quite bored with doing it.  I think it's more of a craft which you can develop in post better than in real time.
