Editing report The most important aspects to consider when editing. In my opinion the most important aspect to consider is timing, this is essential for any project relating because if you don't get that right the piece will lose meaning and impact. Offline editing Offline editing is part of the Post-production in which raw footage is copied and edited without affecting the original recording. Online editing Online editing is the final stage of post-production which takes place after offline editing. The purpose of editing We edit for many reasons the core reasons are to make sure everything flows and to add our own design and effects. Use of editing in silent films. Many techniques of editing were used in the silent film era for example Alfred Hitchcock who used frame for emotion in which he would strategically placed the camera to get the emotions he wanted example a close-up to convey sadness or a wide-shot to convey a less extreme emotion. My likes and dislikes I enjoy editing because I get to play around with different effects, my dislike is that it can be quite fruitioning at times. Qualifications for editors You don't need set qualifications to become a film editor the skills you'll need are graphic design,visual art and a media studies qualification.
