Reflecting on AS Media- Technical skills.

The Skills learnt over the AS year.

During the AS year, we were put into groups to make a short opening to a thriller from our own chosen genre. we also had to do a short remake to a music video. . Throughout the filmmaking i gained new skills these are as follows:


Editing

• Using Final cut pro to edit our thriller openings on.
• Creating special effects such as transitions (fade in fade out).
• Creating slow motion, Jump cuts and Shot reverse shot in the openings.

Camera

• A range of shots such as Mid shot, close ups, Long shots, wide shots.
• we also used High angle and low angle shots.
• I learnt how to use tracking and panning during the filming process.
• we also learn the 180 degree rule whilst filming.

Sound

• Using base track during the editing process of our music video.
• Sound track pro- creating Foley sounds and adding in non diegetic/diegetic sounds.

Apart from these skills learnt during the filming process, i also learnt how to present my work in different ways. I used a range of technology such as Prezi, Go animate, YouTube, blog, Slide share etc. With the skills i gained in AS i will be using these in A2 media to help me to develop on my media work.
