My Role Within The Production

I have taken on all of the post prodution roles. This will include editing the footage, adding any desired effects and filters to the to the film, and creating and adding the soundtrack.

What is the role of the editor?
Film editing is part of the creative post production process of filmmaking. It involves slecting shots and combining them into sequences, and ultimately creating a finished motion picture. Editing is the art to story making, it is the ony art that is unique to cinema, althought there are close similarities to the editing process in other art forms such as; poetry or novel writing. Film editing is often referred to as the ''invisibe art'' because although it is well practiced, the viewer can become so engaged that he or she is not even aware of the editor's work.
The job of an editor isn't simply to mechanically put piees of a film together. A film editor must creatively work with the layers of images, story, dialogue, music, pacing, as well as the actors performances to effectively ''re-imagine' and even rewrite the film to craft a cihesive whole. Editors usually play a damatic role in the making of a film.
