Preliminary task

Planning

Before shooting we planned what we would do and how we would shoot it by creating a floor map of the location we had chosen to shoot in, a storyboard to show the shot types that we would use etc and we also rehearsed what we would do when we filmed it. This was all useful because we could discuss why we would use the shots that we chose and any errors would be found and dealt with in rehersal.  I believe that planning could have been improved by better organisation and improved storyboarding descriptions and mise en scene. 

Camera skills

I have developed my skills with using the camera, using the 180 degree rule for example. I have improved my confidence with using the dolly and generally using the camera.  I have developed skills in using the camera to get specific desired shot angles.  I believe this could be improved, mainly by practice or improved equipment.

Editing

I have learnt how to cut in and out points on the editing software, i have also learnt how to put in fades and various transitions/effects.  This could be improved by practice and a greater length of time dedicated to the editing.  I greater knowledge of the software would also have helped.
