Editing a TV documentary
     
Before you begin …
 
Discuss with the class what they know about the technical side of editing, for 
example equipment and software they are aware of or have used, and the 
practical and creative skills involved. 
  6  a 
Students discuss the questions in pairs and then feed back to the class.
 Answers
Generally speaking, the output editor is responsible for one edition of a 
programme; the editor is responsible for the whole programme or series over a 
longer period of time.
    b 
Students read the email and answer the questions.
 Answers
1  Because she is going to arrive late at the editing studio.
2  Diana is the output editor.
3  She may be slightly worried that Donna − who, as editor, is in charge of 
deciding what should be included in the documentary − won’t be there at the 
start of the editing process. She may also be worried that a different reporter, 
Sylvana Calpepper, is going to have to do the voice recording because the 
reporter who was on the shoot, Neil, is ill. However, Donna’s email is very 
apologetic and clearly lays out what she needs to do.
