Q.7 Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

I feel that I have learnt how to record from a camera, professionally, especially when it is placed on the tripod, as the camera is held in placeI have learnt how to hold a camera steadily, and slowly when capturing a good shot

In my preliminary task, I wasn’t the one who was filming

I have learnt that I work better when I’m filming rather than being the one filmed

I have also improved my editing skills because I have had to edit a few videos for the blog
