    What do I want to know?
    What I want to know about is how I can become a film editor for film companies and how I can get involved with big films that are very well known to other people and other countries. I want to know what it is like to be an editor for people you work for. The reason that I want to be an editor is because they pay you good money, you get to work with famous people that you have never meet and also the techniques that you will be doing as an editor. When the editors did the editing shower scene from the film psycho was amazing how they did the music and made that scene very scary. When the editors did the editing for the film Lord of the rings the two towers scene at helms deep was amazing when the wall was destroyed by the orks and the battle scene.

    Who is Jordan Holtslag?
    Jordan Holtslag is a film and video editor. What he does is that he edits video by making the film or video shorter or longer. He adds audio effects and visual effects to the video or film. He cuts bits out of the video and adds in new stuff or he doesn't like it and cuts it out. I found him on stage 32. what stage 32 is to contact media people who involved with film productions, newspaper articles, BBC news and radio. These people are not just from the UK but from all over the world who are involved with media. Stage 32 is to help media student to contact them and to find out what they do and how we can get involved with stuff that they do.

    What I like about this image is that it has a clear view of the image on what's happening in it. The focusing of the camera is very good. The image quality is very high definitive and has bright and alot of colours in the image. I like this image because it's something that I want to do by taking pictures of views with good image quality and has high image colouring.
