Technical skills I developed during the AS year


During the As year I learnt A load of skills here are a few of them; 

-       How to set up the camera such as not touching the lens as your fingerprints get left and how to set the right focus and zoom in order to get a quality shot done. also to use an umbrella if we wanted to film in the rain so that it does not damage the camera plus learning how to put the memory card in properly. 

-       Using sound track pro and live type . Sound track pro is one program we learnt to use. this program can allow us to add special effects, sounds and even a composition if we need it. also it helpful as we could import our film and watch the thriller while adding the sound so we knew where we wanted sound or if we wanted to edit any sounds we didn't want. live type is another program we learnt to use which made us be able to add text but not just any text, texts with effects and positioning and time they appear on screen. 

-       Final cut to editing and cut and add clips together. During the year i learnt how to edit my clip cut the parts out i don't want by using the input which is I and the output which is O. Also adding the clips together on the time line so that there are no gaps or blackness in the videos we made. we also learnt how to zoom in and frame a particular shot in final cut which would improve our work overall. 

-       How to film range of shots such close ups and extreme close ups. during the year of AS we learnt a full rage of shots such as long shot, wide shot, mid shot, high angle shot and low angle shot. we learnt not to use the same shot every time and how different angel and rage of shots add effect to that particular shot. 

-       Learnt how to transport clips and photographs from the memory card to the computer then upload it to blogger. when he had finished film we had to upload the clips to the computer and save them to our group hard drive and then put it into final cut then render it if it wasn't saved properly. once we had completed our video we had to put the clip into handbrake so that it can be converted to a mp4 and uploaded to blogger.
