How have my skills improved during AS

Research and Pre-production

I feel that i have improved with my research and pre-production from year 11 to AS as i have been able to develop my skills in researching into similar products and branch ideas off of them to make my product have the same effect. The way i have developed this from my year 11 music video is that for my AS film opening i watched and analysed many different films of the same genre, i feel that i could develop this even more for A2 by researching more products and in more depth. I also feel that for the pre-production stage i could improve by having everything planned completely before starting to produce my product. I also feel that i could improve my skills on my blog however they have developed as i did not know how to use it before AS.

Production

For my production i feel that i have improved since year 11 as i have developed my filming skills by using more angles and shot types, i have also learnt to keep the shots still. I feel that i could develop this even more for A2 by using even more shot types and angles and also use two cameras to get more variety in so when editing so it is easier and have loads of different clips to use.

Post Production

I feel that i have improved my editing skills as i have learnt how to use many more tools and which ones look good to use. For example the lighting and speed/duration to make our horror movie more effective, i also learnt how to use after effects to insert text into my film for the credits. When editing we inserted a sound clip and looped it but when we finished our 2 minute clip we found out that it didn't work well so therefore had to change it. I feel that i could again improve this for A2 by learning some new tools to use.
