Techniques and skills

Throughout this project, I have been able to develop new knowledge on some techniques and skills. I have learnt how to frame an interview and also that the interviewee should try to avoid looking into the camera. I have also developed my editing skills and have been able to include cut aways to other footage, add music and voiceover, add stills and add titles. I have also improved my communication skills as I have had to maintain contact with my client throughout the project. I have also learned to be flexible in order to meet the demands of the client.

Problems and proposed solutions

Throughout my project, I have not encountered many problems however there was a few that I had to resolve. The first problem that I encountered was that my camera battery broke while filming at the practice, this meant I could not film the interviews on the same day. To resolve this, I worked out a different day that I could film the interviews with my client. The second problem I encountered was the voiceover. I had to record it several times to get it right as it was too rushed. To resolve, I recorded the voiceover at a slower pace. These two problems were the only ones I encountered throughout my project and everything went smoothly.
