Currently we are looking for a Video Editor (contract based) to join our team during the high season.
Please submit the task while applying:
For this test task, I would like to test your storytelling abilities and knowledge of direct response social media ads… The best way to get better at learning to edit direct response ads is to watch them alot… below I’ve attached some of the best VSL style video ads so that you can study them and then apply to the test task…
Here are some things you may notice:
1. Weird footage – many of the clips in the hook are very strange. This is on purpose because we want to break the audience’s pattern of scrolling on social media. They are already being entertained while scrolling through content they like and we need to be EXTRA interesting. So you will notice weird footage, music and sound effects meant to grab the viewer’s attention
2. Unprofessional footage – notice most of the footage is not professional shot. It looks like it was shot on an iPhone, not framed right, and not stabilized.
3. Text overlays – these are crucial to highlight important texts to concepts
4. Transitions- VSLs are meant to captivate the viewer and retain their attention for as long as possible. For this reason the video must keep flowing and transitions are a good way to do this.
5. Music choice – notice how the music and SFX support the video and make it more interesting
6. Subtitles – subtitles are meant to engage the viewer by having them read while they listen and watch

Now you probably have a good idea of the style of videos we are looking for. Here is the task:
1. Read this script: /document/d/1kPbIpgnyZktYd9kN_oNrMJJXJiZKVmF1f_WRrt1ZRA8/edit#heading=h.3zu6hfwdm8o6, try to understand what we are talking about and what kind of interesting footage you can choose to best grab the viewer’s attention.
2. Use footage as you wish from here: /scl/fo/t245iq88fk3tgcq0hyuv9/h?rlkey=q9xd7ajgxbh2yp3gizgs3rtdg&dl=0. You can also get footage from stock or simply online.
3. Use this voice over: /scl/fi/j39356575mjg3p7mfbv0g/ElevenLabs_2023-10-11T06_59_34_HAIM-EINHORN_ivc_s40_sb60_3?rlkey=mu3atmxjjqyx9v83thmcwv7ev&dl=0
4. Now edit the video and the 5 hooks. By the end you should have 5 variations (only the hook changes)
5. Make sure to pay attention to all the points mentioned above. Good luck
