How has your view of editing changed over the two years as you progressed with different programs?
Over the course of the two years I have progressed my skills in post-production by making better use of effects in editing programs. For my first preliminary video on continuity in AS I used iMovie to edit it post-production, it was quite simple cutting and placing the clips in order. For the final music video in A2 we used Premiere Elements which gave us a wider range of effects which we used to enhance our footage. To make the final video follow better than the preliminary Busted music video we used transitions to make the cuts between clips less choppy.
