Media Role- Editor

A film or video editor is responsible for assembling raw material into a finished product suitable for broadcasting. The material they work with may consist of raw camera footage, dialogue, sound effects, graphics and special effects. This is a key role in the post-production process and the editor's skill can determine the quality and delivery of the final product. The editor may be part of a team and they will usually work closely with the director to achieve the desired end result.
The majority of film/video editors are employed on a freelance basis, working on short-term contracts for post-production studios, television companies and corporate employers. Editors may work on a variety of productions including feature films, television programmes, music videos, corporate training videos or advertisements.

Typical work activities

• 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 determine the sequence of the film and determining what is usable;
• creating a 'rough cut' of the programme/film and determining the exact cutting for the next and final stages;
• re-ordering and tweaking the content to ensure the logical sequencing and smooth running of the film/video.

How 'The Chase' Went for me

For the chase i was with sam,chris and raja and i think we worked pretty well as a team. We decided what we were doing quickly so we could put more time into where and what kind of shots we would use. We all contributed to the main plot of the film, but i thought up the idea of having Pokemon cards in the bag and brought them in on the day we filmed. I thought that dressing me up as a chav would make it more obvious I was the villain. I also thought up some of the camera angles so contributed to the team and helped us get the C/B that we got.
I was one of the actor editors, but i edited most of the film as Sam was in the other class as to when i edited it. I think i acted well but had a smaller role than Sam, but I didn't mind because i like editing better. I think the editing wasn't to bad considering we only had 2 hours to edit it, and i had to cut out a lot to shorten the film even though it is still quite long.
