Evaluation - Thriller

From this project i have learnt many things, these including how to use GarageBand and how to use final cut pro. Although i know how to use final cut express i had never used final cut pro which is slightly different in a way that to do something it would be in a different place or a different place where the button is. From this i have learnt many things from doing my thriller.

As well as picking up skills for different programs i feel as if i learnt how to work well in a group, as the different jobs for the filming, editing sounds etc was shared between me and my partner. I feel as if this has given me a great skill which will prove to be very useful in the future.

Throughout this unit i think i have used my creativity alot. This is due to the editing, and the sound effects. From this unit i have shown that i have ability to use many different programs.

From this unit i have proven that working in a group is not an issue, this is due to the fact that if there is something that my partner does not understand then i can help them to understand how to do things.

Overall i think that during doing Unit 23 I have built up many different skills that have been very useful in all the unit. I believe that i have been able to work better in a group this unit as i have grown used to working with other people. i think that this skill will help me loads in the next units to come. I think that i still have room for improvement in garage band, but to get better i will use things like youtube tutorials and i will ask the technicians for help.
