Editoral Job

A film or video editor is responsible for cutting together all of the original footage to create drafts and then a final piece of work. They should create a professional finished product suitable for broadcasting. The material could be footage, audio, sound effects or all three depending on what media purpose the editing is for. The is the main role in the post production process because its where the film or video comes together and people can start to see what the final product might look like, also is determines the quality and delivery of the final product to everyone else and most importantly the audience. In this job you would mostly spend time with the director to get their view on how it should look, his opinion is the most important. Depending on the media project editors may be very involved in creating the narrative, structure or tone of the programme or film. In some situations, this is where editors are given freedom to create an edit how they want to see it, while others may just be needed to operate the machine, get the editing done how the director wants it. Editors usually make a few cuts until they get a final edit.
