Development of skills

Recently our media class visited knebworth house to practice our camera skills and when we returned we used the footage to create a music video. From this I learnt how important a stable shot is that can be continuously cut back to during a music video so as to fill in gaps, for this we used a shot on a train so it wasn't static and provided an interesting cut away. I also realised that, although difficult, Lip syncing is not an impossible task and overall shouldn't provide a challenge in the future. Overall as a skills exercise it went well, using new editing techniques like echo I realised how to turn a rather static and boring shot in to something far more interesting and I also developed better camera control and a greater understanding of how long the editing process for a music video can be.
