1. What areas of media practice across the term have you excelled at, why do you think you’ve done well in these areas and what do you need to do to continue to develop?
The thing i think that i excelled at most was the video editing aspects of the course. including the advert dubbing. i still have a lot to learn but i finished these the quickest and i think this was because i enjoyed these tasks the most. i need to continue developing in this though because there is a lot to learn for example colour grading and eventually i would like to learn premier pro.
I thought i was also good at creating the character profile due to the fact that it was a creative exercise. Writing stories is something i greatly enjoy and do sometimes in my pass time so this task was something i greatly enjoyed doing.
2. What areas of media practice across the term have you found a challenge, why do you think you’ve found these areas challenging and what do you need to do to continue to improve your skills and understanding?
I need to develop my skills in after effects as it was the thing that i got most frustrated at. This was a very challenging program to use just because there are so many parts to it. i learnt the basics but the fact that i didn't know all of the basics impacted negatively on my ability to use the program.
I also found doing the Vlog rather difficult. This was because of the whole aspect of talking in front of a camera. it is something that i am not used to so to me it was difficult but i think it was necessary because it helped my confidence in being in front of a camera and i know it is something that will become easier the more i have to do it.
3. From your research and the talks and focus on professional practice, what skills and qualities do you feel are essential to enable you to make progress towards your career goal? What do you need to do in order to develop these and how can you be supported in this?
Some of the skills needed to progress towards my career goal include:
learning final cut pro - I will use online tutorials in my own time to achieve this
Learning premier pro - I will use online tutorials in my own time to achieve this
Learning how to digitally improve picture quality through editing
good communication skills between editor and director
All of these, I believe i will be able to achieve through either online tutorials or through the teachers and friends in SGS college. Some of these skills could also be learned through the course if they are on the specification.
