Project Overview I’m looking for a creative and reliable freelance video editor to produce a 60–90 second promotional video using existing HD footage of my spoken word / rap workshops and SEN staff training delivered in schools. The purpose of the video is to attract paid workshop bookings, primarily from school leaders and SEN professionals, while remaining visually engaging and exciting for children and teenagers, who are the main recipients of the work.
here is a little snippet of some of the footage (I just cut a few moments from a range for you to view )

Typography & On-Screen Text Typography is a core feature of this edit. Examples of phrases to highlight: • “Words that move” • Dynamic delivery • Spoken word that connects • Compelling learning experiences • Inclusive by design • Developing emotional intelligence • Trauma-informed practice • Young people seen and heard • Supporting emotional regulation • Real Impact • Confidence grows here • Skills for life • Trusted by schools • More than a one-off session • Bring this to your school • No subtitles required. Typography should do the storytelling alongside the visuals and music. ________________________________________ Branding & Assets • No fixed brand guidelines yet • No logo required at this stage • Editor to choose clean, accessible, professional typography • Visual style should appeal to both professionals and young people • Clear call to action at the end (e.g. website / booking prompt) ________________________________________ Platforms: • Website homepage • Instagram / Facebook Reels • LinkedIn • YouTube Deliverables: • 1 x main promotional video (90 seconds) • 1 x short cut (approx. 30 seconds) • MP4 format, 1080p • Music included (royalty-free ) • 1–2 rounds of revisions included ________________________________________ • First draft: ASAP • Final delivery shortly after feedback ________________________________________ Budget £200 to £250 (max) Scope is intentionally focused to fit budget. Further edits or additional videos may follow as separate paid projects.
