Why is video editing a good career? | How to get a job as a Video Editor? | CV-Library - An opportunity 2024

Have you ever heard that “a picture is worth a thousand words” 

Why? 

Because, to describe an intention, you will need to speak along with mentioning your intention. Because intentions are the most difficult parameter to understand. 

You can draw an image with the same intention, and people will easily understand your perception. 

For example, from this image, you can say that we are comparing two objects from which one is 75% and the other is 45%. Now, if we make a video of the same, then it will add emotions. 

Any visual perception with emotions, motion (animation), explanation, and representation is the exact interpreter of intentions. 

Suppose you do not believe in Ghosts. But why, just after watching the horror movie, you are getting scared of going to your kitchen alone?!!!

That’s because video editing can shape your beliefs, it can change the way of observation, and it can change the mindset of people. 

That is why we must know and understand the workings of our mind like: How do our beliefs build?

It is therefore the biggest brand in the world that uses Professional and commercial video advertisements. Because they know the power of video representation. 

I know that today is the time when video editing skills are too competitive. But, give me the one name of a movie that could have earned the highest attention of people. If you search for it, you will find that it was because of the concept representation of the movie. That is the power of a video editor.

If you are an expert in your field, no competition will ever affect you. If it is affecting you, you probably are not investing in marketing in the right way.
