Preliminary - what have I learned?

Filming - On filming this preliminary task I have learnt how to use a variety of different shots and angles. Something that I need to be aware of is that the lighting did effect the quality of some of the shots. For example the shots of me from a distance standing in front of the green had a very bright contrast because of the way the sun was reflecting etc. I also think that I should, to ensure I get the shot exactly how I want it,  record for a few seconds and then have a look at what has been recorded so that I am happy with the outcome, as some of the shots I feel were a little off centre or included bits of scenery that I didn't want to be in the shot.

Editing - The editing process for my preliminary took at least one week and a half, nearly two as I was determined to match up the lip-syncing exactly to give a better effect for the video. I experimented with different transitions and found that some of them were too extravagant and in your face for just this preliminary task. I tried to get all the different variety of shots we took into the video to show contrast.
