Skills audit

Throughout media i have learnt numerous amounts of skills about many things for example :

1. I have learnt how to operate a video camera safely and record many angels such as : close ups , mid-shots , extreme close ups . I've always learnt that zooming in and out during filming something  can make the overall video look amateur . 
2. Using final cut pro , learning how to use input and output and get the part of the clip i want to use.
3. Adding titles to my clip on final cut pro , changing it's colour/font/size .
4. Working in a group, sharing and listening to ideas .
5. Organising things such as : extra media time , coming in at lunch , when and what we should blog about to get good grades.

Overall though editing is the one thing I've learnt about in depth , i always thought editing was such a quick , painless and fairly easy process but it's not at all . I've learnt how to cut clips so that each clip in the overall video has a smooth transition and looks believable .
