Skills Audit for music video shoot

For this music video are crew has to be aware that each one of us has to play an individual role in the process, so to ensure that we will have to assign each one to their most suited position.

Here are my skills and why I have been chosen to be an editor

Camera work – I have had quite a lot of experience in camera work, I have been studying at Chesterfield College for 2 years in Media (moving image) but since I will be doing the acting in this camera work for me is no good.

Directing – Personally I have good ideas and know what I want when making a production but I don’t like having to tell people what to do, I feel uncomfortable and I prefer keeping my head down whilst working so directing is not too great for me either.

Editing – I have been interested in editing ever since college, it seems to be the right job for me because I have the patience to be sitting behind an editing suite for days and continuous working on the same thing. I am quite creative when it comes to editing and I can work quite fast too. I’ve had previous experience with Final Cut Pro on the Mac suites but this is my first time editing a big piece on premiere, so im quite excited about it.

In general editing is the only job that’s suitable for me in this production so I’ll be taking that job, but I won’t mind taking on one of the other roles during future projects. Also I won’t be working on the editing alone; the others will be helping me along and giving their input during the process.
