[Lesson 1] Skills Development

Skills Development in AS :
During the gap between AS and A2 my reserach skills has improved from a basic level to a much more advanced level in many ways by using much more technical skills such as ICT and devloping my writing skills making things much simple such as bullet pointing my presentations so its much easier to read so I could always look back at my points that i did instead of reading a paragraph again.

Skills Developed in planning production:
In AS I was not a very organised person since it was my first time planning and filming videos which I was not really a proffession at for example I did not use softwares to plan such as using timetoast to make things easier for me. By using timetoast it help me see through all my work in order of the dates i posted in which organised me really well during A2 which i hoped I could of used during AS. In A2, I mostly used the help of my team mates as i knew teamwork was a really important thing we need and I had to trust them no matter what or we all would have achieved what we needed to.I used different types of planning softwares which helped me check what i needed to do and researching before actually doing my music video.

Skills Developed in video work:
During AS, I did not understand all the basic programs which I needed to know such as final cut pro and sound track pro. Also I knew the basics whilst taking videos of shot angles but then developed much better during A2 as I knew all the technical skills behind them and understood all the key terms which taught me how to hold a camera and how to shoot the video properly as a proffesional. For example in AS, I always had the camera either out of focus or not in the rule of thirds which are the most important things you need in a music video or a film. However in A2, I included all these skills from the help of my teachers and learning new things during this course.
