Editing Thriller - Blog Post #45

Editing Thriller
Blog Post #'45

A Skype call has been organised in the upcoming week with Michael Harrowes, Michael is a BAFTA nominated editor who is currently editing a horror drama for British television. He has previously worked on other TV series such as "Agatha Christie: Poirot" and "Mr Selfridge''. 

The questions that I hope to ask him will be:

1). How did you get into the media industry?
2). What has been the biggest project that you have worked on?
3). What tips would you suggest when editing our final opening title sequence?

  1. My fault - can you change it to him editing a thriller. Also can your links always be in a different colour or underlined so they stand out and it is clear you have done this extra work?
