3. Apply cinematography and composition standards to video clips, using industry language to describe framing, movement, and visual flow.
4. Create exemplar annotations that serve as quality benchmarks for the project's evolving dataset.
5. Identify and document ambiguous cases, missing categories, or annotation schema edge cases for ongoing guideline improvement.
6. Maintain alignment with project leads and quality control throughout updates to annotation frameworks.
7. Use Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and similar tools to evaluate, process, and structure layered design files as part of the annotation workflow.
