Technology Skills - Targets.

• Get more familiar with Adobe Premier Pro, therefore when it comes to the editing of my final music video i will know how to effectively use the tools on the program. At present I am unsure on how to apply a slow/fast motion effect to a video clip, or how to incorporate stop motion animation onto a video using this particular programme. I also need to experiment with creating successful jump cuts and continuity edits. Additionally, I need to practise creating an effective lip sync by experimenting with video clips and sound. This is to ensure that my final video looks professional and believable. I will follow online tutorials in order to do this and develop my knowledge.
• Familiarise myself with the digitial video cameras more, so I can professionally apply a variety of shots such as dolly, tracking, zoom in/out etc. This will be achieved through experimenting with the camera and taking test shots to see what works the best.
• Learn how to successfully use different settings on a DSLR so photographs can be taken more professionally. These are settings such as landscape, close-up, sports, night portrait, etc. The aim of this is so photographs will look more effective before they are edited in Photoshop, to ensure the most professional outcome possible. This will also be achieved through experimentation and taking test shots.
