Wearing a simple gray sweater with jeans, a young woman radiating self-confidence enters Soochow University. She is Eleanor Jiang: a professional video editor, the host of the Eleanor Jiang’s YouTube channel, the head of One Media Co., Ltd., a co-instructor of Sony, and an inspiring dreamer! Today, on December 6th, 2021, she came to Soochow University to share her secret video editing skills.

"I believe beside Mandarin, English, and Mathematics, the mandatory courses for future students will also include editing skills!" said Eleanor. In this era, the way people communicate has gradually changed from text to image and voice. It is very important to have information skills, instead of only owning academic knowledge. Every student should learn some essential film editing terms and techniques because it may come in handy some day

"We not only cultivate the ability of editing, but we can also enhance the way we think and better the art of conveying our own ideas." During the editing process, we need to think about what we want to deliver to the audience. The effect and meaning of a small change from editing may result in a huge change. The messages that readers receive will also vary from one person to another. This is the charm of editing!
