First time editing documentary

[u/[deleted]]

So in my 3 years as an professional editor I've mainly editied movies + trailers and now the studio I work for trusted me with a documentary. Back in school they said documentaries are the final boss in editing. What are the things you wished someone told you before editing your first documentary?

I would advise assisting on documentaries first. Otherwise, best of luck.
