In the area of editing the School aims to develop the creative and technical competence of students to the professional standards. Students will learn the craft of creatively work with layers of images, story, dialogue, music, pacing, as well as actors’ performances to effectively create or “re-create” the film as a cohesive whole.
With the advent of digital post production, the School has equipped high quality digital facility. Editing students will be taught up-to-date digital technology. They will also learn and experience other aspects of post production crafts, such as visual effects and colour grading in order to be an all-round post production creative practitioner.

The Academy’s strategic plan outlines our mission - “Cultivating 21st century performing artists: an Asian heart, a global view”. It also celebrates our most unique attribute - our location in Hong Kong - which provides a very rich learning environment for our students with an emphasis on Chinese and Western cultures. Interdisciplinary learning is another unique attribute of the Academy. Under one roof are housed six performing arts disciplines – Chinese opera, dance, drama, film and television, music, and theatre and entertainment arts – providing students with many opportunities to learn from their peers and from other disciplines to enrich their learning experience.
Our students and alumni are passionate about the performing arts, and are supported by faculty who are amongst the most distinguished performing artists in the region. Every year the Academy presents more than 300 public concerts and performances to showcase its versatility and talent. Over the past 31 years the Academy has trained over 7,600 performing artists who have contributed significantly to enriching and reshaping the cultural landscape of Hong Kong.
Equally important is the Academy’s strong focus on connecting with its community through a network of educational outreach programmes. They include our junior programmes in music and dance, our community engagement programmes for primary and secondary students, and a wide range of performing arts courses provided by EXCEL, the continuing education arm of the Academy.
