Responsibility of Editor

In editing it was important to have a direct conversation with the Director and the team. After filming I editing and create draft edit to be viewed by the time on Tuesday, unfortunately many of the time could not make it and many had valid reasons. However I had noticed after the film shoot the contact with director had reduce, and I was not able to have direct contact with director to take a edit further. I had resorted to sending export of the current edits I had to the WhatsApp group created to receive some feedback from the rest of the group. Majority had agreed with my created dictions taken for the edit.

I continued to make edits. In any stage when I was unsure of what to do, I consulted the group. I believe the group was lacking a real direction from the director, and this lead to the group taking extra roles that the director should have taken.

A clear picture of the the outcomes final product of the film was not given to us by the director.

Even with these simple issues with-in the group. My responsibility as editor was to complete an edited from the footage i was given. As group we did come up with relevant ideas. Filmed all the important scene, and completed the task as best as we could. Everyone tried to work together, and this helped us all produce an acceptable shot video at the end.

I may have not pleased with the out come of the footage i was given. as it was hard to visualise the directors intention. But it is possible this could have been because the lack of communication and motivation from some part of the group. As a i had a responsibility to the group to edit as best as i could to to have a complete video.
