The easiest part of this production was the editing, personally I fond the editing the easiest because we only used simple transitions and jump cuts, these effects are pretty easy to use. The shot types were not to difficult either, the hardest one was the establishing shot because we didn’t know how to take the shot, the outcome of that shot looked more like a top shot. The hardest part of the entire  production was probably the performing each individual shot type, some shots we really struggled to complete such as the focus pull, shallow focus and the establishing shot, The reason we struggled on the shots was because we didn’t know how to alter the focus on the camera, we did get a small bit of guidance on the focus pull shot because no one knew how to change the focus, once we came to terms with it we were able to work the shots without a problem. The hardest part about the establishing shot was trying to find a place to shoot over a scenery, instead I laid down and the camera was pointing at an angle pointing down on me.

I learnt many skills, one skill in particular was the dolly zoom, I thought the effect of the dolly zoom wasn’t a camera skill, I thought it was created with editing effects, after configuring with the zoom tool on the camera we were able to create the dolly zoom effect, one other skill I learnt was how to pull the focus, I'm able to create focus pull effect in edit with a lot of time and patience, but using the camera I found the focus pull not to be a problem, all we had to is toggle a button which caused a red outline to appear around what ever was in focus, after configuring the camera we could switch the focus. One other skill I learnt was whilst editing, post edit I didn’t know how to add titles and texts, after we leant how to add text, other effects started to role in such as being able to draw over the can verse, and also be able to switch focus.

The teamwork was great, we all discovered the place to film and we all switched each role around, we wound all help each other, if some one didn’t know wow to focus pull we would help each other, such as the establishing shot, this shot was probably the hardest but we figured out how to complete it.
