Hello, I’m Adele Carroll. I’m a senior video editor and narrative editor with over 25 years of experience shaping archive-heavy and sensitive material into clear, coherent stories. I began as a BBC editor, honing the ability to make complex subjects—technology, finance, science, and history—accessible to general audiences without sacrificing rigour or authority. I excel at bringing clarity, structure, and editorial judgement to high-stakes communications. Since 2001, I’ve freelanced across broadcast, documentary, branded, and institutional media, resolving difficult edits and delivering compelling narratives under editorial and reputational pressure. My credits include Sherlock, Panorama, Silent Witness, Doctor Who, Strictly Come Dancing, The Great British Bake Off, Top Gear, Frozen Planet, Human Planet, Holbein: Painting the Tudor Court, and Barbarossa: The Lost Diaries. I’ve led strategic narrative films for Mercedes, Google, Heatherwick Studio, HSBC, NatWest, Zurich, Ericsson, Primark, Procter & Gamble, The Wellcome Trust, and other global organisations via Bladonmore. I bring curiosity, collaboration, and a commitment to rigorous storytelling to every project.
