Post Production Digital and Creative Skills

How have your post production digital and creative skills developed over time ?

At AS level, Katie and i made a short 2 minute title sequence with the genre teen/comedy. This year at A2 level, we made a 5 minute short film with the genre of crime/drama.

At As, i had little to no experience in the filming industry. However during the production of our A2, I got involved with helping a group young college students edit film footage for a IBM competition. The team came second nationally. This gave and improved my skills which i used in my AS and helped me to produce a better piece of eating at A2.

Do this when you type it up in case the real exam focus include production too 

When creating our title sequence at AS, we used a very little amount of tools to edit on premiere pro. This in turn gave us a poor and basic looking outcome. This changed when creating our A2 work as my knowledge of tools was better. At A2, i also learnt shortcuts which sped up the process a good amount. The main tool i used was the cut tool or command 'k'. This allowed me to chop up footage to the correct size i wanted. The other main tool is the grab tool which allowed me to move across the timeline which necessary. It also allows you too change the positions of clips if they arena't in the correct place. A new tool i used was the 'ripple' edit, which allowed me to edit the grab between two edit points in the timeline. This would ripple effectively making it smooth. Rendering the film every 10 minutes is important to ensure the film is always in the best quality.

During As, i didn't really look into improving my skills in editing. This time round, i youtubed how to advance my skills in the process. It helped immensely and it shows in the final process. The main bit of research is the transitions between clips. The AS was just chopped and put together. The A2 was planned on how we wanted stuff to look and it worked out.
