skills audit

Since last year in AS and this year in A2 my whole way of thinking and planning has changed due to more knowledge and experience. I have picked up more information and skills than i knew before which has given me the opportunity to work and plan better in A2 to produce and excellent piece of work which will result in being a music video. The way i researched for my practical work last year in AS was rather unorganized and unplanned sometimes. But we did get somewhere with our research which did result in us producing a good horror movie which flowed well. However because it was all new to me from the beginning i was unsure of how to conduct my research sometimes and what to do and how to place things. But over time during my time in AS it did become easier for me to conduct my research and planning methods in more of a flow even though there would be times where i would get lost and stuck. However at the end of the AS year i picked up so many valuable skills and information to take with me to next year and these were how to use the mac computers, vimeo, ishowyou, final cut pro, how to place sound into the videos, adding effects, cutting and pasting. How to merge clips together making them flow better ie fade ins. I have learnt that being in a group you need to learn to communicate with them properly, to get ideas out clearly and for every one to decide on something they agree on so there are no questions left at the end. Everyone shares out the work equally when needed to so nothing is missed out on to cause delays to the project and we decide locations properly and stick to them and always always have a back up plan so you have something to fall back upon when plan A falls apart because not everything goes they way we always want it to. All of these skills has made me ready for A2 giving me a head start in planning my new project properly so that this time i do it all with easy and no confusion and planning for our video has already started.
