From the title “Junior Video Editor” and your description of the salary you proposed it sounds like this is an entry-level job that’ll probably go to someone fresh out of school.
It’s hard to read too much into it because this might just be a form letter, but it sounds like they genuinely thought you were a good candidate but they were looking for a more junior position. Sometimes this is dictated by their budget available.
Even if this is a form letter, they probably have a letter for the case where the salary was OK but they never want to hear from the candidate again. So you didn’t get that letter, at least!
It looks like this was a “near miss”. It’s discouraging, but keep at it, you can do it.
You would think “junior” meant entry-level, because I did at first, but I have seen a lot of jobs with that word in their title paying over £40,000 a year, so I think it might mean “junior executive” or something.

And thank you!
Think of American high school, where a “junior” is in their third of four years.
That makes sense, although hard for me to process.
I dunno. I see a lot of junior and entry level with a whole lot of experience expectations.
