In order to gain and develop filming and editing skills, we produced a 30-seconds video around college including different camera angles and movements.
Editing
The editing software that we used is Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. As this was our first experience with this software, we learned basic stuff such as how to drag a video to a different platform, unlink the sound from the video in order to put another music with the video and how to export the final video from the software to upload it on youtube after. Two important things that we learned and used today as well was how to add text to our video and also how to put effects to transitions.
Filming
In terms of filming, we had to make sure that we tried different camera angles and movements. We started the video with a POV of someone walking up the stairs following by a mid-shot of himself to introduce the first character to the audience. We then continued with a POV and used a mid shot of the second character with a shot of him leaving the room. The last scene includes a long shot of the first character looking towards the window following by a close up of his face.
Eric, you have gained some practical experience with the camera and editing software; I would suggest doing more of this in advance of your main production in order to improve your confidence and skills in these areas.
