ROLE AS EDITOR

As my role being editor I've had to look through Hours of footage both footage we filmed on the canon Xf100 and Oscars Canon 550D  and in contact with the Director (Oscar) speak with him about which shots, interviews and cut aways we wanted to use and which structure we wanted to use for the Doc. The structure of the Documentary was a heavily debated subject between the member of the group and as edit I had to be the mediator trying to come to a resolve between the different inputs and ideas within the group. The documentary would start to take shape but then abruptly change due to new concepts and ideas thrown around from group members. As the editor this did become slightly frustrating but we all wanted the best for the documentary. After several long discussions both in person with group members and the Facebook group we finally came to a conclusion that we all felt gave the documentary a professional and authentic feel. We feel that the footage we used highlighted our groups individuality and style, and are all collectively proud of the piece.
