Since starting the music video project at A2, my skills of editing on video software has improved greatly. At AS I learnt a lot about Final Cut Express and iMovie when filming and editing my film opening, therefore I had a clear and fluent understanding of how to use the software such as uploading my footage. However since the music video project my skills within Final Cut Express have improved even more. We were shown and taught at the beginning of the course at A2 about how important the lip syncing and editing to the beat was, which made me make sure that my music video was sharp and edited to the exact second of the beat. I learnt about how to put in markers on where a singing shot appears, which taught me to be able to line up my footage with it, so that the singing was completely in time with the video. I also learnt how to use several effects on Final Cut Express which I had not used before. Throughout my video I have used different video filters on my footage such as a glow or a replication of one shot into four.
I feel as if since my A2 course has started, that my existing knowledge and understanding of editing and software using has been improved greatly and gives me much more confidence in using the computers alone and also to make my own music videos/films outside of school. I rarely find myself asking my teachers how to do something which I am very proud of.
