Film Filming/Editing Roles

Emote Brief

The role of a Film/Video editor is to help convey the message the film is trying to present in a way that is entertaining to its intended audience. They generally work very closely with the director to make sure that work is done to an acceptable standard.
 Editors make sure the technical standards, the sense of story and the actor's performances are correct. They take the best takes of scenes and use these takes to help convey the story, most times doing many cuts and producing different results.

Editors can start out being Runners to Trainees, First & Second assistants and hopefully become editors.

 The skills most editors possess are: understanding narrative, obtain a sense of timing and rhythm when telling a story, able to be in charge of a team, good communication skills and able to pay attention to detail.

In my group my role is film editor, I plan to research more into different editing techniques that can be done in Final Cut software, and ways of presenting a storyline. 
I plan to storyboard how the different scenes in our film will be shot and what type of shots would be benefit in the aiding of storytelling.

Main Equipment I will be using for the current project:

XD Cam 

We also used one lighting stand, an extra camera and tripod.
