Preparation for Placement

I have written down some questions for the editor that I'll be working with:

• What prior experience did you have before gaining your role?
• What is the best thing about your role?
• What is the most challenging thing about your role?
• What does your day usually entail?
• Do you usually work alone or part of a team (or both)? How do you find this?
• Do you get to work on production or just office based work?
• How do you add your own creative flare as an editor, or must you follow a strict brief?
• What advice would you give to me?
• What are the most important skills you need to become an editor?
