• Apply effective pacing, cuts, transitions and visual storytelling techniques.
• Perform color correction and color grading to achieve a polished and consistent visual style.
• Repurpose long-form content into short-form videos for platforms such as Instagram.
• Review and refine edits based on feedback while maintaining the overall creative direction of the content.
• Deliver final video assets to a high professional standard and within agreed timelines.
