My Role as Editor

Our task is to create a documentary, newspaper advertisement and a radio trailer. In my group, we have decided to focus on one of the most important topics in UK which is teenage pregnancy and contraception's.
As the editor of my groups documentary focusing on this specific topic, my responsibility is to take both still and moving image together with sounds and transforming them into a visual footage. This is to convey our opinion on this matter to audiences, and for them to gain some knowledge from it. The importance in my role is to deliver a balanced argument communicating the group’s views without being biased. I have chosen the role as the editor because I believe it's going to be a massive challenge for me. This is because I would need to learn new skills such as using the editing suite to cut, fade, add etc and be able to adapt it when producing the documentary. Also I have chosen this role because I gained a little bit of experience at the editing suite when producing an opening sequence of a thriller genre with the editor of that group. In conclusion, I believe it would enable me to know more about the technical side of media industry and to be more precise, it would enable me to know how the production of documentary works.
