Aimee used a range of digital technologies and software during her group project including a handheld camera, dolly, crane, Photoshop, and Final Cut. These skills allowed her to produce a high quality film with different techniques and edit it to a high standard. For her A2 project, Aimee plans to further develop these skills by practicing with camera equipment and spending more time editing to improve the quality of her work.
