2) Which jobs are you most interested in for long term ?
For the long term I think I would be most interested in being a film editor as I have alway enjoyed watching films and been interested in how they edit films and I think it will also be something different its a job that includes editing different videos which I think is interesting.
3) Which jobs are entry-level posts?
An entry level job in the film industry tends to be runner jobs. There are different types of runners such as:
4) Are the jobs that you are interested in likely to be short term freelance or long term employed posts?
I think that a film editor is a long term employed post as you would normally start by being a runner and then you would work your way up the industry until you get to where you want which in my case is a film editor.
5) Whats the likely pay rate?
Salary
A film/video editor position isn't typically an entry-level job. You'd usually start at a lower-paid level, possibly as a runner where salaries could be around the national minimum wage. You may then progress to assistant editor where you'd get paid a bit more, before reaching the full editor post.
Homework:
1)
- receiving a brief, and maybe an outline of footage and/or a shot list, script, or screenplay;
- assembling all raw footage, with camera shots either recorded or transferred onto video tape in preparation for inputting into the computer;
- inputting uncut rushes and sound, and synchronising and storing them into files on the computer;
- digitally cutting the files to put together the sequence of the film and deciding what is usable;
- creating a 'rough cut' (or assembly edit) of the programme/film and determining the exact cutting for the next and final stages;
- reordering and tweaking the content to ensure the logical sequencing and smooth running of the film/video.
- overseeing the quality and progress of audio and video engineering and editing;
- experimenting with styles and techniques including the design of graphic elements;
- writing voiceover/commentary;
- suggesting or selecting music.

3) Which jobs are entry-level posts?
An entry level job in the film industry tends to be runner jobs. There are different types of runners such as:
- Production Runners assist in the production office. They aren’t usually involved much in pre-production but come on board a little before shooting at which point they help keep the flow of information between the crew through the distribution of paperwork as well as researching with the production team.
- Office Runners work for the companies involved in film-making. Not all companies have office running positions but those that do exist provide a way in to areas of film-making beyond production. In particular, this can be an entry route towards post-production or working for a production company. As there are few positions, however, the competition can be great. Internships can, in certain circumstances, act as a precursor to office running.

- Starting salaries for those employed by a television or post-production studio are in the region of £18,000 to £25,000.
- With experience as a film or video editor, you could earn £20,000 to £35,000.
- At a senior level, you could reach potential earnings of £37,000 to £70,000 but the higher end of this scale is only available to senior editors working on high-status projects.
