Editing is Easy?

So of course I thought editing was just to show up on the day and edit a video depending on what clips were decided. I did not once think about the exact work I had to put forward. It is just as much of a task as any other gig, and I felt comfortable about putting my best forward for my group. For this part, the editor took on other roles that brought the group uniformed on the day. So what was miss thinking giving the editor the role of the grip or in my case sound engineer. I had enough things to piece together miss beforehand, believe me I had a lot more work to do. While for some others it seemed like a breeze, but I knew they had their work cut out for them.

...but I didn't complain, in fact sound completed the technical aspect of my expertise. I might have had to do it regardless, but all the sound effects would be collected together prior so I would know what sound went with which clip and where to place what. It's a strategy in your head as to where to place things in each cut.

Imagine one of those complicated puzzles, with several pieces. You have the picture on the box as to what all those pieces represent, but it becomes a pain when one too many many doesn't work when you place them in the right spot, which is what editing becomes. You the picture, or in this case the story, but you must fit those small clips together into a movie. Hey that's a lot of work.

In my role as editor I had to envision the idea of the film.
