Posted last month

Worldwide

Summary

I am a student who recently filmed a documentary project for one of my classes. I'm looking for an experienced documentary editor who can help me understand the fundamentals of documentary editing and guide me through the post-production process. This is not a traditional editing job. Instead, I'm looking for a consultation/mentorship-style arrangement where you can: - Review my footage and project direction - Explain the basics of documentary storytelling and structure - Help me understand how to organize and select footage - Teach me the fundamentals of building a narrative from interviews and B-roll - Provide feedback on my editing decisions - Answer questions and help me develop the documentary into a compelling final piece Ideally, you have experience editing documentaries and can explain concepts in a beginner-friendly way. Previous mentoring, teaching, or consulting experience would be a plus. Important: To confirm that you have read the entire job post, please include the word "student" in the first line of your proposal.
