SKILLS TABLE

For this task we were asked to produce a table which would outline the skills and creativity we have, under the different exam topics. We wrote a number of different headings in the columns, which were the following:
- Digital technology
- Research and Planning
- Post production
- Media text conventions

For each topic we needed to identify a specific skill that we needed for the production of our AS film. These were
- Cognitive skills
- Technical skills
- Interpersonal skills.

After we had produced this poster we now needed to produce a voice over video, which we would need to explain each point we added, and give reasons and examples to back up our main points.
Our group took it in turns to speak, I read through the first column (digital technology), Sade read through the second column (Research and planning), Zoe read the third column (post production), then Sade read out the last column (media text conventions).

our skills gained throughout the main task was relevant to everyday live in a way, i think i gained skills witch would be appropriate out in the workplace and general communication skills. Learning new skills makes it easier to operate equipment and interact with pupils, and i think my current level of skill was average, then developed even further.
SMART TARGETS
specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time based.

1) To become more familiar with the edit suites, and be confident and comfortable with different editing techniques. I will do this by researching and finding out about different edit suites, which will help me to use them when it comes to editing our film. We will also have to think about the amount of sound going on when filming, as in our opening sequence we had to turn it right down in order for our soundtrack to be heard over the top.

2) Ensure that when producing our film this year, we enable much time for it to be completed. (As last time it was done in last minute, which caused much stress). I will do this by completing any unfinished work at home for independent study, which will help get all work up top date and ready to start work the teacher sets in the following lesson. Interacting with other pupils in the class, to see where i can improve will also help to get my work up to the best possible standards, and working as a team to ensure everyone is up to date and has all their own work completed.

3) To be able to create a well put together short film, with a plot that becomes interesting and what audiences want to watch. To help me achieve this i will research around what audiences like, and what they dislike. I will also do some research into what genre of film's they like, by using box office statistics and audience reviews. I will also ask family members and friends which genre of films they like to help me get an idea of which age ranges like which specific genre's.

4) Organising the project sensibly so that all deadlines are met, and the course is finished on time. This will be done by completing independent study at home, and reading around and finding out anything i do not understand. By completing work at home enables more time for class work and helping us not get behind on any work. Finding out anything i do not understand enables me to extend my knowledge, and become more independent to find out things by myself.

5) Allowing myself to be more creative, by breaking away from the obvious media conventions. To achieve this target it needs to be something unusual and something that is not regular (original). I will research the different media conventions and gain idea's about how we can be different from everyone else, and create a film that an audience will like, and want to watch on.
