Reflection

In my creative critical reflection I have used different types of media products, such as creating a podcast, to reflect on what I learnt whilst doing this project.  

Before creating the CCR I had never used Adobe Audition.  In creating the directors commentary and podcast I learnt how to edit the sound so that it did not sound jarring and how to efficiently edit it so that it flows.  

In creating my product, The Hangman, I learnt how to use a camera but more importantly how to create good cinematography.  I took a fairly ordinary setting of a field and forest with a single character but with dedication and skill I have used technology to create something that I hope elevates the simplicity of the setting.

I had very basic Premiere Pro knowledge at the start of the project but I watched a lot of YouTube tutorials to increase my skills.  

One of my biggest issues with creating a Podcast is my speech and language disorder and my lack of clarity when speaking.  I had to record it several times to try and ensure it was clear enough.

Looking back, the area I would improve on is my pre production skills.  It was only when I started the filming that I understood the level of detail and what detail I needed for the pre production stage.
