Media Skills

One of the skills I have developed whist completing this task was my confidence when using the camera. I now know how to use it properly and rarely need to ask for assistance. I have also developed skills when framing. A lot of the locations needed to be modified in order for the frame to look right and correspond with the script. There is a lot of camera movement in my preliminary task. For the main camera movement sequence there was a lot of retaking involved because we were using the wrong lens so it would not focus on what we wanted it to. This experience helped to develop my camera movement skills because I now consider the lens option when I know the shot will not be stationary.

When editing I feel as though I have developed less skills in comparison to the skills I developed when using the camera. However, I am now more comfortable using Final Cut Pro on my own and I know how to use various tools, such as 'cut'. I also know feel very comfortable adjusting video and audio and sound editing within Final Cut Pro. I think I still need to work on importing and converting methods as I am unsure about them.
