Initial Skills

I have a lot of experience using a video camera steadily and accurately  as well as having a wide knowledge of shot types  when filming as I have also done film studies at A.S and continued to study it at A.2.  Therefore I have also got basic knowledge of video editing in Final Cut and constructing film soundtracks using garage band. I have also got brief knowledge of planning and constructing storyboards which may come in handy when making my film.
