Prelim Task Evaluation (Q4)

What editing skills have you developed and how confident are you using the editing programme?

My previous editing experiance comes from SonyVegasPro8, which I used to use almost daily . I found that Premiere Pro was relatively similar in terms of tools and layout and therefor I did not struggle to adjust when we were given the task to edit our films. Since I had not edited in about a year or two at first I wasn't sure how to approach this task.
     Some skills I have developed are: using the transitions, cutting clips and adding in text. I need to improve my knowledge of adding in transitions and I can do this by experimenting with the settings and options available for each transition. When adding them to the film no adjustments were made and the default transitions were used instead of tweaking  options available in the seperate tab. I am confident with adding text and navigating the timeline as I had practice with this, and its generally the same for every editing programme. I lack confidence with changing the way the clips actually look. For example changing the footage to greyscale. I need to improve my basic editing knowledge and practice how to tweak transitions so they fit nicely.
