Technical skills developed AS year

Before AS media studies, I didn't have any experience of editing of any sort. However, throughout the year I learnt several skills which would immensely benefit my A2 year:

• JVC camera: While using this to film, I learnt several camera shots such as establishing shot, wide shot, medium shot, close up etc. and other useful skills such as panning, tilting, tracking, hand held etc.
• Final Cut Pro: This was hard to understand at first but due to many practices in class, I learnt how to cut, edit, add transitions & special effects efficiently.
• Soundtrack Pro: This allowed us to produce music to accompany our footage or just to add sound effects such as foot steps.
• LiveType: This was used to add text or titles onto our sequence using different fonts & styles.
• Digital camera: This was used to take photos while filming which could then be put onto our blogs or used for a storyboard.
• Handbrake: This was essential for converting our finished video so that it could be uploaded on the internet.
