Technical Skills From AS

In AS i learned a lot about film making and all the technical sides to it. One of the areas that I learned and really improved on is editing. 

I have learned the different types of cuts in the that are used in films and produced it in my own video (jump cuts, match cuts, shot reverse shot...).  I have really improved on using the program, final cut pro as I now understand how to create, effects such as slow motion, colour correction, and create effects like position two or more videos in one shot. 

Sound Editing for me is one of the hardest parts of producing a film because you have to have multi different sound layers and have to be editing on time with the video. It was one of my weaknesses but improved and gained a lot of knowledge about how to combine sound to the video to create a good film. I've now learned the types of the sound edits like foley sounds, digetic and none digetics sounds, and sound bridge. 

We used JVC video cameras to film our videos which gave me a stronger knowledge of using the different technical functions on the camera. For example, the focus on the camera, the exposure, and using the zoom in two ways, using the ring and the buttons. I learned about the camera movements e.g  panning, tracking, and tilting shots.
