What did we learn about the cameras and editing software during the preliminary task?

We learnt how to use the cameras, by turning on/off the camera putting in the tape and how to play back what just been filmed. We learnt how to do different shots like high angle , medium shots, ect. Also we learnt what shots worked and what didn’t and what shot looked better than others.
The editing software we used was final cut pro and with this it helped us put together the shots together so they look effective to do this we first connected the camera to the Mac and we created a folder in Final cut pro so what was loaded on the computer would always be there so we wouldn’t have to plug in the camera and start again each time. We were all unsure how use the software until Mr. Fordom explained it to us. He told us how to crop and slice the clip. We leant that how to crop the shots so they fitted with the previous scene.
