There is an overall idea in every film that is produced. The idea is generated by those funding its production. There is a story that needs to be told in every collection of clips.

Computer proficiency is important for editing jobs. One must understand shortcuts to simplify insertion of clips, cutting pasting and importing. Developing and following the element of a story board and story line will make your film work successful. The story you intend to tell must be compressed within the time given.
