Operating a video camera: The video camera that I used to was fairly straight forward, and I managed to teach myself within approximately 20 minutes. I worked on using the zoom to emphasise certain features of each scene, while this worked on some scenes I found that often the shot worked better if I simply walked forwards. Though it may seem simpler, it meant I had to understand when using the zoom would be better or when simply walking forward would suffice.
Recording or using sound effects, dialogue or music: Since I choose not to include a script for my film opening, it gave more opportunity to work and focus on the musical side of the opening. This meant that I could develop the technical side of the sound track more. For example I found that using an exponential fade works well when transitioning between two audio tracks. Also, I had to equalize and use the decackler on one of tracks due to the quality of the recording, this insured that the audio transitioned between each different tracks better.
Importing images & video files: To import the files into Premiere Pro, I first had to convert the file so I was able to run in the program. I did this by changing the file tag from .MOV to .AVI this resulted in the file restoring itself so it was able to be accessed in Premiere Pro.
Editing images for moving image production: Due to the lighting of my film, I had to go through and for every shot put on an equalizer and a fast colour correcting effect.
