What You'll Do

  • Watch video clips and segment them into individual shots, confirming cut boundaries with precision
  • Annotate each shot with camera angle, shot size, and camera movement (e.g., pan, tilt, dolly, handheld)
  • Write clear, concise descriptions of on-screen action within each shot
  • Apply stylistic and tonal tags — including lighting style, visual mood, and genre feel — where relevant
  • Work within predefined taxonomies and labeling frameworks to ensure consistency across large datasets
  • Flag ambiguous shots, unclear transitions, or edge cases for review
  • Maintain accuracy and output quality across high-volume annotation workflows

Must-Have

  • Strong visual literacy — you notice shot distinctions others miss
  • Solid understanding of core film grammar: shot types, camera angles, and movement terminology
  • Comfortable working in structured labeling tools, spreadsheets, or annotation interfaces
  • Detail-oriented and consistent, especially across repetitive tasks
  • Able to work independently and manage your own pace

Nice To Have

  • Background in video editing, assistant editing, cinematography, or post-production
  • Prior experience with data annotation, dataset labeling, or AI training workflows
  • Familiarity with visual storytelling across different genres and formats
