As a film or video editor, I am responsible for assembling recorded raw material into a finished product that's suitable for broadcasting. The material may include camera footage, dialogue, sound effects, graphics and special effects. This is a key role in the post-production process and my skills can determine the quality and delivery of the final product, usually work closely with the director to achieve the desired end result. -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
