My work as an editor will involve: • receiving a brief, and maybe an outline of footage and/or a shot list, script, or screenplay; • assembling all raw footage, with camera shots either recorded or transferred onto video tape in preparation for inputting into the computer; • inputting uncut rushes and sound, and synchronising and storing them into files on the computer; • digitally cutting the files to put together the sequence of the film and deciding what is usable; • creating a 'rough cut' (or assembly edit) of the programme/film and determining the exact cutting for the next and final stages; • reordering and fine-tuning the content to ensure the logical sequencing and smooth running of the film/video. Additional tasks may include: • overseeing the quality and progress of audio and video engineering and editing; • experimenting with styles and techniques including the design of graphic elements; • writing voiceover/commentary; • suggesting or selecting music.
