Duties : Researching specialised information for documentaries Sourcing contributors to take part in documentaries Creating spreadsheets to organise all contacts Booking interviews and meetings with contacts and clients Writing pitches Writing voice overs for documentary episodes Brainstorming working titles and new concepts I have recently decided to take my skills over to the video editing for SDMC, to gain more practice in this area. This includes sorting through the footage on Adobe Premier, identifying the key shots and scenes for the rough edit, and cutting these together with a suitable audio to eventually produce a final cut.
