Five young people have shot a short film about British hurdler and Olympic hopeful Zara Hohn, and now they need to edit it.
Working with filmmaker Barry J Gibb, they learn how shots come together in an edit, using interview, cutaways and music to tell the story.
Focusing on preparation, structure and the importance of having a beginning, middle and end, they explore the various layers that combine to form a short narrative.
