I am seeking an intermediate - experienced creative editor to help shape the story of a 45-60 minute documentary. This is not a technical edit where broll, motion graphics, audio editing, or even music is needed, just story shaping.
I have 1/3 done and have a loose script/beats with clear themes. The project is sectioned into the different beats.
What you need to do:
- Structure interviews & scenes into a compelling story based on the script
- Read interview transcripts and place according to script or your own creative direction (I am open to your input if that is in your scope)
- Elevate pacing & clarity
Responsibilities:
- Review footage & provided material
- Shape the documentary's narrative structure
- Comfortable working from a loose script/outline
- Clear communicator
Deliverables:
- Structured rough cut (45-60 min), if longer, that is okay and I can cut it down later
- Keep the project file organized. Always use different sequence versions.
- Optional: editor's notes on story decisions or input for when it is passed back to me
