What have I learnt from this site?

1. Film more of a shot than actually need be, as this could be a way to join the shots together.
2. Shoot in one direction, and then in the opposite direction as this makes the editing look less obvious. it also means that I can use shot-reverse shot, which will give more impact.
3. How I should edit...

• First you put shots in order (an assemble edit)
• Then you trim them roughly so that they flow together (the rough cut)
• Then you edit them precisely, adjust sound levels and add sounds and visual effects.

     4. Ways in which to make my film poetic; shoot through things, use reflections and                      shadows, compare similar things.

     5. Sound is as important as the images.

• Use separate microphones
• Shoot away from distracting sounds
• Listen before/while shooting
• Record silence
