Editing dual graduate projects that were intrinsically opposite in tone and intention, was an incredible opportunity for Mari to showcase her talents and versatility within editing. Moving forward, Mari wants to explore as many different styles and genres as she can. Throughout her time in IADT, Mari’s technical, theoretical and creative editing talents have improved immensely. She has had the opportunity to expand her skills and become proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro, Da Vinci Resolve and Avid Media Composer. Her editing skills have significantly advanced within the last year and she has become confident in navigating the editing landscape, moving forward.
