You will be editing 25–40 minute documentary-style videos.

There are two types of projects:

• True crime / a ---------- channel — we provide the script, and you will source relevant stock, archival, news, police and other footage to match the story.

Editing style reference:
----------

Requirements:

• After Effects is a plus
• Good understanding of documentary pacing and storytelling
• Ability to source relevant footage based on a script
