Through the various lectures we had throughout the year (minus the ones I missed because of my collarbone fracture) I learned a lot of skills on how to approach the industry professionally.
First of all, I got a lot better at video editing through awareness of the various methods used to create a specific feel and look in a film. Fast cutting rhythm, slow cutting rhythm, pace, cut selection and many other skills contributed to my knowledge and future careerer. I got a look into the industry through the program Avid Media Composer, and I got more aware of what is important as an editor. Among these skills are awareness of codec and its use. Online/ Offline editing and colour grading.
In the year I studied at Middlesex University, I expanded my cinematic view. But most significantly on the subject of colour. I slowly became aware of the green tint in the fluorescent lights, daylight/ tungsten temperature lights importance in a shot and how to recreate a specific feeling through specific use of colour.
I slowly became more confident with what I do and how I want to do it in terms of both production and post-production, and I feel like I can go out and make a film almost on my own. I would have the skills to fill in a lot of the roles, but in my year I also learned the importance of a good and efficient team.
Now more than ever I know my limitations and possibilities. I found out that I was very impatient on a set. If the production didn't constantly moved on, I became annoyed and bored. I need things to happen while in the moment. I find this way of working highly efficient, and I will in the future do my best to find the good spot, to where I can be productive but also have fun.
