I'm hoping to find a screenwriter to transform my journal into a movie. It's about a heinous scandal in America that the medical industry is trying to hide from the public. Anyone interested? Experience with dramatic writing preferred.

impressive. Thanks for sharing!
Blood on your hands? Dracula does!

I am currently looking into Postgrad courses but I would like to know if any of you guys actually needed a degree to pursue a job in editing? I am an amateur, I make them from a crappy laptop that crashes every 10 minutes, but I am saving for a computer right now to raise the quality of my videos. I have only had the chance to make fanvideos, one of them was actually played on Entertainment Tonight WORLD WIDE. But that does not mean I am good enough for a job prospect which is why I am asking for your advice :) Here is a recent one I did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_yvvpfo5nk
@EE - you don't have one zero, you have 2; and they look like this: oo ;-) Best of luck - you already have what it takes!
Taking classes for the use of software, compression and delivery aspects is always good. But beyond the technical aspects of editing, which just about anyone can learn, you have to be able to tell a story and build emotion. Pacing and feeling is key to editing.

Expand commentyou don't need a degree... you need talent... take some classes, shot some stuff and start learning. In the mean time get an intern gig with a local editor and start there... Once you can cut, then start putting a demo together with the help of a couple local shooter or something. Then find a couple student projects and start editing those... and work your way into editing for a living.
You do not need a degree. Just get in where you fit in. In the meantime cut anything and everything you can get your hands on. Pick a software and master it. Learn how to color correct as well. Basics nothing to fancy.

Expand commentIt seems like everyone has covered a lot here, but I'll just add one thing. Experience is everything. You don't need a degree so don't waste your money unless you may want to teach in the future - a degree is important for that and it's a far more steady job than many in our industry. Beyond doing as much work as possible (even for free with friends or for low-pay in between other jobs if you want), I'd also recommend finding a mentor. I never had one myself, but have seen through many, and from people who I've worked with, that it's far quicker and more rewarding than school. And if you find the right one it will be much less expensive! Not to mention you're learning real world issues as you cut along with seeing why an editor makes story-based decisions as she or he cuts. Best of luck to you!
