Editor
Intention (SMART Goal)
By May 10th, as part of team 4, I will show evidence of how I edited before the actors blinked.

Leader(s) in the Field / Exemplary Work(s)
Pietro Scalia (Morbius)
- Edited Morbius (2022), the first movie to sell one trillion tickets.
- Also edited The Martian (2015)
Training Source(s)
- Watch every frame of raw footage at least twice. Then start.
- Nurture the relationship with the director.
- Find any shot instantly. Organization is paramount.
- Factor in extra time for renders, exports, errors & crashes.
- Attempt edits that shouldn’t work. You’ll be surprised.
- Spend more time on audio. It’s the glue of your edit.
- Cut for the scene, but always in the context of the whole film.

PRODUCTION – ACTION
The FILM
Skills Commentary
Throughout this film project, we had to deal with many issues.
This was the first and last time I use a team project to edit. I thought that it would help with collaborating with my Sound Designer/Composer and make it easier to work on the film at home, but it just didn’t work, so I will go back to using the normal project files.
We shot the film in 4K using my Cinematographer’s own camera, which caused the file sizes to become very large, the final uncompressed version of the film ended up at 28 Gigabytes.

Reactions to the Final Version
They liked the opening montage.
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
It’s pretty bad. We definitely could have done better. We could have put more effort into the script.
