Before we began working on our preliminary task and our thriller opening project, I had not grasped the concept of editing video and audio and I did not know much about cameras and how to cleanly shoot HD film.
I have never used Final Cut Pro or any other software of editing before, let alone a Mac. This course has shown me clearly how to use the software and how to snip, clip and merge video clips and audio clips to a standard I would have never dreamed of. I have learnt the importance of naming clips and separating the ones I need from the ones I don't because later on in both the tasks my team and I found rummaging through all our nameless clips and retake clips near impossible.
I had never heard of white balance and what it contributed to shots and takes, but I soon found out that it changed the way we saw lighting and how important it was while we were editing and doing continuity editing. I also learnt how to use the tripod and how a stable camera can make all the difference between what kind of impression you are trying to make on the audience.
