In this project I learned how to utilize tablets apps such as Photoshop Mix and Adobe Fix, it also made me increase my skills with Premiere Pro for the editing section of the project, another part that was engaging for me was to film and direct the scenes in order to create the trailer, thinking about camera movement and placement were difficult but interesting. Overall it was a very good project, brainstorming ideas with the group and working on set with them were my favourite part.
