Individuals who edit film and video for the motion picture, cable and broadcast television industries. They select the most effective shot of each scene and combine them in sequence to form a logical and smoothly running story. They may discard scenes that do not help plot development. When selecting and assembling scenes, editors try to achieve the best combination of photography, performance, consistency and timing. Comedies, for example, require a specific type of timing. Editors must estimate how long audiences will laugh at each gag line or situation in order to space scenes so that one funny incident is not lost in the laughter of the previous one.
