- as a director need to give clear instructions
- using shadows to advantage (shadow on my face in video)
- using manual focus
- doing 'rushes'
WHAT I LEARNED FROM FINAL CUT PRO X:

Vodcasting techniques
- Try to not rely on mac mic
- Stack mic recordings to add dynamic depth
- Take notes to footage assembled
- make folders and drag and drop from finder into event and every folder becomes tag
- Favourites

- Relevant visual material
- Add titles to simplify what is being said verbally
- Chapters
- Give clear credit
- Edit and tweak titles
