Television is made up of both pictures and audio, which are of equal importance. Editing television footage, requires the ability to match pictures to audio appropriately and to produce a package that offers a balanced argument and a smooth sequence of effective pictures and audio.
Editing 'The Way of Tea' exhibition did bare its difficulties, as all the images were fairly similar and I didn't want to produce a package that was visually monotonous and lacking variety. In order to break up the images of the tea cups and tea garden, I introduced images of the tea hut, made up of materials simply found in the art gallery. The tea hut offered colour and shape to the package and variety was offered by presenting different shots and patterns of the tea cups.

Aiming to create the sense that the television package is taking the viewer on the journey themselves, I started the sequence with images of the tea garden and then moved the images to the tea hut. I also introduced the images of the artist's and myself, in which we share a biscuit and sit together, in order to portray the human connection that is developing throughout the ceremony.
Throughout the television package, I wanted to create the sense that something lost, is being found and which, is found by the end of the package. Thus, truly inviting the viewer to share the experience that the exhibition offers.
