We are seeking a highly creative and experienced Post-Production Editor or Team for a short (3 to 4 minutes) mild horror/suspense film with a thrilling, suspenseful twist. This film uses a state fair setting to amplify the chaos and tension of the story, blending the festive and frenetic energy of the fair with a haunting narrative. Your role will be to enhance the suspense, building up the fear and tension to a climactic crescendo. This includes audio, SFX (we have access to library), and natural audio provided.
- Bring unique and imaginative techniques to heighten the suspense and scariness, integrating overlays, light, and action from a state fair setting.
- Utilize the footage provided (nearly all scenes except the very last have been shot) and draw inspiration from a pre-edited cut.
- Work collaboratively to brainstorm and refine ideas, with an openness to experimentation and fresh takes on horror editing.
- Provide a comprehensive game plan and timeline for the editing approach before diving into the work.
-Participate in periodic reviews and discussions to ensure the film’s vision is being realized effectively.
- The edit delivered must be compatible with Final Cut Pro, as a final scene has yet to be shot. Director plans on editing that portion, unless applicant has an interest in that, too.
Experience / Skills
- Proven track record in horror or suspense-driven narrative work.
- Strong understanding of horror/suspense post-production techniques, particularly in sound design, visual effects, and pacing.
- Examples of prior work are a must, ideally demonstrating a flair for building intensity and creating atmospheric tension.
- Excellent communication and collaborative skills, with a willingness to discuss ideas openly and incorporate feedback.
