Commentary on things learnt from preliminary activity

The preliminary activity enabled me to broaden my knowledge on different camera movements. Now I know that a track involves the camera following a moving object, or an arc is when one moves the camera in an arc around the subject. I am also now familiar with how to use a camera recorder and the different settings you can put it on. Also shooting the preliminary activity taught me basic principles, like how to set up a tripod. The main thing I gained from this activity was how to edit on Final Cut Express. I am now able to edit various extracts and add sound to enhance the sequence.
