Nariman Hamed: Film, music video and commercial director

Before working as a professional film editor, you can learn more about the industry by completing an internship or apprenticeship. Depending on the assignment, you might be allowed to edit films independently or you might assist the staff video editor with their clips.

Although it isn't a requirement, an internship can be a great way to gain video editing experience to add to both your resume and portfolio. This opportunity can also help you learn more about the regular routine of a film editor before you decide to pursue it as a full-time position.
