Progression individually and as a group

Individually, I have progressed a lot in learning new skills and techniques which I can use to achieve the best possible effects in filming and editing. I have gained more confidence in using the equipment and trying out new angles and techniques which could improve our groups work. Our continuity task helped me understand the equipment and the techniques used to create a certain shot. In the continuity task, I felt that filming was a massive development for me as i became more confident and took more control. The continuity helped the group to find individual strong points such as, who was good at research, filming and organising the group. The continuity task had a lot of problems with the original story line and the camera work which need a lot of re-shoots and developments. This then became clear to me and a member of our group that we needed to completely change the story line and the camera work needed to be developed vastly. Therefore, the two of us went away and started to film again from scratch with a new story and more camera techniques with lead to more progress and helped our group to achieve a well produced final media product. Meanwhile, the other group members gained more research and helped our group as a team move forward. During this process and the process of our horror opening, I have learnt aspects about the editing stage of production and how to use Adobe Premier Pro to cut and edit our groups footage with the help of my group member, Jordan. 
As a group I think we started slow with filming our footage for our continuity task and our title opening sequence and had a lot of problems with re-shoots due to time, setting and availability within our group. Our group had to become organised and filming became a priority within our group. Our group has progressed massively with filming and organisation. Our group has developed and we have all learnt about filming and some aspects of editing. As a group we have become more focused and serious about getting footage filmed and developing our title opening. 
Overall, as an individual and as a group, I and we have made vast developments and have learnt lots in the process of making our horror-thriller opening sequence.
