The document discusses what was learned from completing a preliminary editing task and how those skills were applied to a subsequent full project. Specifically: - Fundamental editing skills like the 180-degree rule for camera placement and different types of shots were learned. Not following the 180-degree rule in the preliminary task helped understand how to correct it. - Effects like sound design and different camera techniques can help immerse the audience and build tension. - Skills from the preliminary task, such as following the 180-degree rule and using match-on-action shots, helped structure the opening scene and keep the flow of the full project.
