The skills we have learned from the preliminary task to the final film are the way we use the camera, such as we used a lot of close ups to create mystery around the characters which hides their identity. We learnt how to use the angles to create power within the shots and to show who has more power and who is weaker. Using a high angle means they are weak as the camera is looking down on the person, whereas low angle means the person in shot has more power, because the camera is looking up to the actor. 

The editing skills we learned are how to use 180 degree rule, during conversations between people, the camera always has to be on the opposite side when changing. Match on action is a skill we learnt when one of our shots is too long and boring so we add in parts of the same action but from different angles to make it look less boring. Another skill we learnt was how to do shot reverse shot, this would be used when two actors are having a conversation and the camera would switch between them when each of the are talking during the conversation. The pace of the editing can also effect the feel of what is being filmed, as if the pace is sped up and there are lots of short shots in a short amount of time, this could give it a tense feel to it. Where as if the editing pace is slowed down, it would give it a gentle and relaxed feel to it. 

We learnt how to edit sound and what types of sound effects come under which types of sound. Such as ambient sounds which is just usual background sound, and foley which is edited in sound. The soundtrack that is chosen to go with the mood of the video is important as it could help build the mood and atmosphere of the overall footage. 

The lighting is also an important thing that we learnt, as it can also effect the mood and atmosphere of the footage. Such as if the footage needs to have a mysterious atmosphere,the lighting needs to be low key and dimly lit, whereas it there is a gentle atmosphere it needs to be relatively light and glowy, but no too bright. The colour grading goes sort of hand in hand with the lighting as, if the mood is mysterious the colour grading has to have dull sort of colour like a hint of blue t make the mood darker. If the mood is gentle and light, the colour grading needs to be a lighter colour like yellow or orange to make the atmosphere happier.
