Hi, I'm happy to see this board. It's helpful in many ways. I have no one to guide me about video editing jobs, so I'm lost. I have alot of questions about cinematography, but I don't want to cross the limit of asking. I'll just ask a few, and hopefully I'll get my answer

I have interest in video editing... I wanna do a job in that. I want to know, who is the person who edits the video and adds the special effects? Is it a cinematographer?

If you are a person who adds special effects to a video, how do you find your work? Meaning, do you go to one company (I don't know whatelse to call it) and stay with them? Or do different companies hire you temporarily just to edit their video.

How is the salary of this job?

I'm sorry if these questions are alot, but I'm in need of answers as time is running short. It would be helpful if you could also post the main meaning of Cinematographer. Thanks alot!
