Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

Our knowledge of ways to edit and also our camera skills have improved imensley. We have learnt how to use the program 'Final cut pro' To a standard that can makes our video look proffesional and clear to the audience. We have learnt how to make sucsessfull transistions between shots that make the film flow. Our skills on the program 'Garage Band' Have improved imensly. We were able to use this program to create a sucsessfull score of music throughout the film opening. We were also able to add an artificial scream with our knowledge of garage band. Our knowledge of films and there openings has improved imensly and we now understand films as media students not as simple people in the audience.
