Struggling with the three-act structure in your video editing? Is it too abstract for real-world projects like commercials and documentaries?

In this episode of The Video Editing Podcast, you'll discover a simplified storytelling framework that works for any video edit - from 60-second commercials to feature documentaries. I'll share the exact same approach I used in my Emmy-nominated work and that Unsplice students are successfully implementing in their own projects right now.

You'll learn why the traditional three-act structure often feels useless for video editors working with real footage, how the Past-Present-Future framework provides a practical translation layer for any editing project, and practical techniques to identify and structure these three temporal elements in your own footage for maximum emotional impact.

Listen now to transform your storytelling approach and create edits that captivate your audience from start to finish - the same skills that can help you charge £300-£500/day as a professional video editor.
