What am I learning?

I am learning visual and sound techniques used widely in film; why they are important, how they are used and what the definitions of these words mean. 

How does this show my learning?

By creating a crossword puzzle I am showing that I know the definition to key words related to visual and sound techniques and show that I am able to teach other people. 

What am I wondering as a result of my learning?

I am wondering what are some other things that are also important in visual and sound techniques; and also what are the most important to create a great film.
