Can I become a film editor while pursuing a degree in mass communication?

Yes, you can become an editor in film while pursuing a degree in mass communication. Editing is more about learning how to use digital software and being creative. Most people prefer to go for a course such as a Certificate in cinematography, video-editing software, broadcasting, etc. However, if you can learn these skills and collect samples of your work to build a strong portfolio, that will not stand in the way of getting work in your desired field. In fact, a mass communication course will help you learn relevant skills like visual communication, audio-visual Communication, Camera, etc. Therefore, you can explore this field while pursuing your degree, and later on, with a Diploma or Certificate you can start your career in film editing. Also, in this field, a sample of your work is more likely to get you work than any degree or Certificate.
