Montréal- Editing Reality
Reality TV—a genre with well-known series like The Real World, Pignon sur rue, La Course destination monde, and Survivor—has been a staple on our screens for more than 30 years. Millions of people tune in to these shows each day; they feed meme culture and tap into the universal guilty pleasure that is gossip. Unlike traditional television, the stories on reality TV are not written by screenwriters, but rather by a team of people, including editors. Editors work tirelessly behind the scenes, using tools like music and pacing to make sure viewers can enjoy the action while growing attached to characters. See what these wizards of Québec storytelling have to say about their work.

From his days of stealing his dad’s VHS camcorder to filming his friends, to his current work in television, Alexandre has always seen editing as an important way of creating unique, singular moments.
