"Lights, Camera, Hustle!" - First Job in Media Industry (2018) In mid-2018, I joined Newsrupt Online Media as a Creative Journalist and Video Editor for the Entertainment Desk. This role was my entry into the dynamic world of digital storytelling, balancing the grind of editing with the thrill of chasing stories. The entertainment industry is a whirlwind—but it’s where I learned to turn chaos into creativity. #DigitalMedia #EntertainmentIndustry #CreativeCareers #StorytellingThroughVideo #VideoEditingLife #Newsrupt #KeralaMedia

❓What does it look like for a video editor to be a great STORYTELLER? I've been writing these daily posts for over a week now about what it looks like for an editor to be great at various aspects of the job. I've saved storytelling for last this week because I think it's a pretty obvious topic. Some people may say that editors are just "button pushers." But those people are embarrassing themselves. 😬 ⭐ Here are a few things editors should know in order to be a great storyteller: ▶ Understanding arcs 🔎 What happened before this moment and what comes next? These are not just questions for the showrunner to ask. Having a clear handle on the story we're all trying to tell is essential. A good editor understands the scene arc. But a GREAT editor has a handle on the episode arc, the act arcs, the scene arc, the character arcs, and hopefully a general idea of the season arc. ▶ What are the stakes? ⚡ Stories without stakes are boring. Adding tension and conflict that makes sense (and doesn't feel fake or forced) and ultimately resolving it, is the key to a great story. ▶ Excellent pacing 🏃♀️ Great stories have ups and downs, fast moments and slow moments. Knowing when, where and how to pace the story can make or break moments like landing a joke, selling an idea, or living in the inner turmoil of a character. Pacing is a key tool in an editor's toolbox. 🔧 ▶ Being a creative collaborator ✂ The main goal of the television editor is to help the vision of the showrunner and EP's come alive! But that doesn't mean we don't have creative cups to fill. We can and should make creative story choices in the edit that align with the showrunner's vision. Being a creative collaborator with your producers prevents burnout and allows an editor to feel like they're a valued member of the team. 🙋♀️ One of my favorite personal examples of this was when I was supposed to cut this serious scene for a show. As I watched the string out, I thought the reactions of one of the characters was HILARIOUS. I thought to myself... I wonder how this scene would be as a FUNNY scene? So I gave it a try! The Supervising Story Producer laughed so hard watching it down and couldn't believe I was able to squeeze comedy out of the content. We ended up sending it to the network and they essentially said, "I want all the scenes to be more like that." The lesson I learned was to give things a try and let my creativity soar, and usually it pays off. 🤩 👋 Are you looking for a creative collaborator who understands how to effectively tell a story?

About a year ago, we started hiring creators as contractors (PT & FT), and then as FT employees. Consumers clearly prefer creator storytelling in 2024, not to be confused with "user-generated content". People may thumbstop on a video because it's UGC, but as soon as they realize they're blatantly watching an ad, they'll bounce. Creators that can tell REAL stories are fantastic at weaving a narrative around how a product has solved their own problems. And it feels authentic, because, well, it is. That's hard to replicate at scale, but my gosh does it stand out in a sea of 💩 ads... Shoutout to Brianna for crushing our client edits and this piece in particular! #creators #tiktok #ugc #digitalmarketing

🎥 Say NO to Low-Paying Clients: Value Your Skills as a Video Editor! Attention, fellow video editors! 🚨 It’s time we recognize and stand up for the value of our craft. Video editing is not just cutting clips and adding transitions—it’s storytelling, creativity, and countless hours of hard work. Yet, too often, clients undervalue our work with offers that barely reflect our efforts. Here’s why we should collectively boycott low-paying clients: ✅ Your Skills Deserve Respect: You’ve honed your craft; don’t settle for less than you’re worth. ✅ Low Rates Hurt the Industry: Accepting unfair offers sets a precedent that devalues the work of all editors. ✅ Quality Has a Price: Great content demands great editing, and that comes with fair compensation. Instead, focus on finding clients who: 💡 Understand the value of your expertise. 💼 Offer fair rates that reflect the quality of work they expect. 🤝 Treat you as a professional partner, not just a service provider. Let’s elevate the industry by standing together and saying NO to unfair pay. Your skills are worth it! 💪 #VideoEditing #FairPay #ValueYourWork #CreativeProfessionals #VideoEditorsUnite #BoycottLowPay

😂🤣🤣☠️ One thing you learn once you become A REAL EDITOR 🦸♀️🦸♂️ is that it's way more difficult to pick up somebody's 🤬 up edit than it is to start from scratch. The scrub did things you never would have done, so not only do you have to learn all the footage, you have to UNDO whatever he or she did to dig you into the hole you're trying to fill. Also, you have to know how long it might take you to go through this process. A month might not be long enough. You should either accept the job and tell the client it will be done when it's done and this is how much they're going to have to pay for you to focus on their project, or tell them they are on their own and you can't do a professional job for them within that deadline. As far as what the Poster is talking about, editing a documentary within a month is no big deal 🥱 because it's probably only 90 minutes long and I used to edit hour-long (44:30 plus commercials) television shows in 8 hours. 🦸♂️ So there's no reason it should take you 30 days to edit a documentary unless you have a day job. 👷♂️ #Business #VideoEditing #FirstWorldProblems
