Key Responsibilities

- Footage Review & Selection: Watch and organize raw camera takes, selecting the best shots and discarding weak or unusable material.

- Pacing & Storytelling: Shape the rhythm, timing, and sequence of scenes to build emotional impact, maintain audience attention, and preserve continuity.
- Audio Mixing & Sound Design: Synchronize dialogue, clean up background noise, layer sound effects (SFX), and mix background music.
- Color Correction & Grading: Adjust exposure, white balance, and contrast, and apply color palettes to establish a consistent look and mood.
- Motion Graphics & Visual Effects: Integrate titles, lower thirds, transitions, basic animations, or green-screen/VFX elements.
- Feedback Integration & Exporting: Incorporate revision notes from stakeholders and export the project in the required formats and resolutions for various platforms (e.g., YouTube, broadcast, social media).
