This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to make sophisticated creative and technical judgements in the editing of complex screen productions.
It applies to individuals who play a key role in the creative visualisation of concepts, plots and storylines. They edit a wide range of screen material for productions such as feature films, television dramas and interactive digital media products. Even though senior editors operate with a high degree of autonomy, they work closely with producers, directors and sound engineers, and are often responsible for supervising other members of a post-production team.
