LO3 - Task 4 - Evidence of my participation in the role of editor

Roles and responsibilities
During the production of our short film for unit 46 I assumed the role of cameraman and editor. Almost everyone in our team filmed something weather it got used in the final cut of the trailer or not. I also acquired the permissions for the music used in the trailer.

This is the risk assesment for the location we used for the beginning of the trailer.

Interaction within my team (Verbal and written communication)
Communication within the production team is vital to the success of the production. All aspects of making the trailer require communication between all members of thee team, for example when storyboarding the director, the camera operator and the editor all have to have input in the creation of the storyboard as the vision for the production is the directors and the camera operator is the one who will be filming and the editor decides the structure the rushes are going to take. In our production team each member took on multiple roles at once so I did some filming and some editing. The communication between members of the team is also important when establishing an idea for the production. This usually applies only to small budget independent projects however.

Development of skills
The role I played in producing our film trailer has allowed to develop my editing experience on Adobe premiere. In this role I needed to know when what I'd done was wrong or when I should stop changing things. I also needed an understanding of the trailers established narrative so that I could effectively edit the trailer in such a way that the narrative would be noticable apparent from watching the trailer. As such my understanding of timing has improved as I tried to edit the footage to match the background track e.g. faster track faster editing etc. My skills in communication also developed throughout this production as I had to discuss the idea for the production with other members of the team to maintain and fulfil the eastablished idea.
