What an Editor does

        When creating a film, hours upon hours of raw footage is collected.  In order to create a cohesive story with said footage, an editor must put the footage together to mold the story. In order to do this, an editor must be able to understand the flow of time in the film, space, and rhythm of the story. One responsibility an editor has is making the story flow well. They need to be able to take each scene and fit them together like a puzzle to show the directors vision. Another example would be how editors are able to change the mood of a scene. With just a simple change in music of sound effects, the mood of a whole scene could change from dramatic or sad. One last example of what an editor's responsibilities is correct the mistakes that happened when filming. If a character said something wrong in one scene and it wasn't caught, its the editors job to try and correct it.
