Since the beginning of time, there has always been that one guy who always seems to have his eye on you, it’s because he does. His job is to assist, correct, and at the end of the day, pick up the slack that was left behind by his fellow workers and staff(“Role and Responsibilities of an Editor”). This man is an editor. Whatever type of editor he may be, there is always an immense amount of work under his belt, and a great crew behind his back.

The tone of the piece, what sort of lighting will be used, the location of the shots, and a palette for the film, are all elements that need to be considered before the actual filmmaking begins. However, even with rigorous planning, questions will still arise during shooting, questions that might not even be apparent or answered until the footage reaches the editing room. However, many shortcomings in shooting can be solved through editing. In fact, with good editing pretty much any type of footage can be made into a working piece of art. But good editing is not an easy task. There are many aesthetic factors that need to be taken into consideration such as shot size, mass, movement on screen, and music, in order to keep a film cohesive and interesting. These elements will work together to inform not only the mood of the piece but also the meaning behind it. Editing can make or break a film.

Every individual's unique and distinctive interests, goals, experiences, values, education, and skills often prove to be the driving force behind what they want to do and succeed at in life. For some people, such as famous sports figures Adam Schefter, Stephen A. Smith, Michael Wilbon, and Tony Kornheiser, these factors influence them to find watching college or professional sports, studying the lifestyle of determined athletes, conducting interviews, analyzing statistics, and playing sports themselves enjoyable, which are all aspects of the sports journalism career field.

An argument can be made that Journalism is one of the very few professions in the world of media that is handled with some sort of dignity and pride. After reading “The Elements of Journalism” by Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel, I realized how important journalism is to each and every one of us. Whether you’re a writer or a reader, the back and forth exchange between provider and consumer is extremely important in pushing society forward.

Their task is to create a finished motion picture through combining and selecting shots and putting them into a coherent sequence of events. Whenever we are viewing a film it is extremely difficult to consciously perceive all the editing that has been undertaken. Every single time there is a change from one image to another, this is an edit. For editors, it could be a possible annoyance or perhaps a blessing that critics and the audience never specifically point out the editor’s contribution. However it must be noted that film editors aren’t the only ones that will contribute to a films editing.

Good journalists love to read and want to find out what is going on around them and the world. They write short and long stories as they must write true stories.
