Assistant Editor

An Assistant Editor works as part of the editing team on a film or television production. You’ll put footage, audio, music and special effects together to produce a finished film or television piece. Assistant Editors follow the directions of the editor and may have to help make decisions about which scenes to include and which footage to cut.

Assistant Editors need to be creative, but also need to follow an editor’s instructions. You should be skilled at using editing software and equipment and should be able to work as part of an overall production team. It’s important that you have excellent attention to detail and should be able to focus for extended periods.
