A video editor is responsible for assembling raw material into a finished product suitable for broadcast whatever the format, e.g. on the internet, TV, in cinema or on a DVD.
They work with the rushes, recorded dialogue, sound effects and graphics.
Editing is a main part of the post-production process and the editors are largely responsible for the quality of the final product. The editor will therefore usually work very closely with the Director to achieve a good end result.
An editor's creative freedom varies with each production they work on. On some productions they may be required just to edit the video exactly to another's specifications whereas sometimes the editor can be given much more freedom and in doing so the editor can be responsible for creating the structure, the tone and the narrative of a production.
I also found that there can be two types of editors in a production, offline and online editors. The offline editor assembles all the rushes and other elements, selecting the shots, arranging the shots and putting in music. The online editor is responsible for colour grading, correcting faulty footage and adding special effects.

The Chase Task
In my team I was one of the actors and also an editor, AJ Mulley in my team also has these roles. Bea Brown directed our production and Katie Tangl operated the camera.
My role as the actor, during the filming, was to listen to Bea's directions and work in a team with everyone else to ensure the acting in our final production was a success. Also, as I was editing with AJ I was responsible for compiling all the rushes and making the final sequence. I also created the effect of a security camera in one of our shots that met what Bea, our director had described.
I feel I worked very well within, listening to what the rest of the team wanted when both acting and editing. There was no arguments at any point during the production and our filming day went so smooth we even managed to re-film shots to make them better and even film extra shots which made our final product much more dramatic.
This is our production and our presentation:
