From his preliminary task to his final product, the author learned several skills in filmmaking. His preliminary task had issues like poor camera quality, ineffective editing, and weak acting. However, it helped him understand techniques like match on action shots, shot reverse shots, and tracking shots. For his final product, he improved by planning more, using closer shots, better lighting with natural light, and learning skills in editing like desaturation and merging clips. He was also able to use his own DSLR camera and apply what he learned to create a better final product.
