During last few weeks, I worked as a video editor in the Nanjing Military Region, which made a TV series named The Undercover General. The first day of the work, I spend most of the time on sitting next to one of them and study the skills and knowledge, which I have to know for the next few days. They are so many big differences between the pro person and students who makes video like me. At first, the computers they use usually connect 2 scream together then they could see more part of the video and it will be much easier to editing. On the other hand, the software they used are much professional than the Ulead Videostudio which most of students like us usually use.
At the first few hours, I was totally doesn’t understand what the person sat next to me was talking about, I really didn’t know what he was talking about. That was the most difficult time during the whole work days. For my surprise, he didn’t get mad even though I don’t understand. He helped me instead of yelled at me. I didn’t learn very fast, but I keep doing, which also means still learned not that less.
After a few hours, I finished the basic thing I have to know for my future, but what happened is after I finished it, all the part that will use these were all finished. I finally have nothing to do, so the leader of the office asked me to fix the script clerks’ working mistakes, which was watching all the parts of the video and check if the
first script clerk had recommend all the things like in what time who picked up the stone from where and did what to that stone. I did these kinds of thinks for 3 days. Thanks the first script clerk, he was very responsible, it was great that he finished almost all the works that he suppose to do. I just add a little details that he forget about the video, which also means I had a easy work.
A few days later, the really challenge came to me. I was told to be a editor assistant, which will means I would finally do the work of editing. Seriously, this is very hard. Firstly, the video are not in the correct order, which should be the same as the scenario, so I have to read scenario once and once again to help me put them in order. On the other hand, the photographer used at least 3 video cameras in one set, in different directions and angels, and also when the actor failed once, they shoot again, and I have to choose the best one with excellent directions, angles, and even the actors’ emotion. These were the entire element that I have to think about during the editing.
I think not everyone has a chance to do this kind of work like me and get the experience, so my experience is extremely important for me.
