Technical skills developed and learnt:

Reflecting back on the AS year-Technical skills

I have learnt different technical skills during the AS course.
Using a camera: 
- Setting up camera stand etc
- Zooming and focusing. Different shot types for different reasons.
Eg. Close ups on face to view the characters facial expression.
- Establishing shots.

 Using Macs and software's:
Uploading videos from the hard drive to the Macs.
- Using final cut pro to edit shots placing still images into 'moving images'.
- The use of Handbrakes  to convert videos to MP4's
- Using the software 'Soundtrack pro' to create a soundtrack for our thriller.
- Using 'Live type' to create titles and credits - Finding the right font, effects etc to with thriller opening.
Eg. Title: 'The Census'. So we found a effect that crosses out the title going with the storyline of thriller.
- Importing all of the above to 'Final cut pro' and also exporting files.

NEW SKILLS. I've developed using lip synching:
- Knowing the use of a base track and laying one down.
- Putting a point at particular beats in a song (keeping rhythm)
- Using the cut tool to cut ports of the clips/track
