Skills

I use a lot of vocabulary orally and in my written work such as my proposal which has a wide range of vocabulary. I experimented with a camera filter in my short film as well as camera shots. I can reach the deadline and use the spare time to hone my editing skills because I like bringing the story to life which in my opinion is the most enjoyable part of the post production another thing I like about editing is that I can entertain my audience using different styles of editing such as continuity, discontinuity. Through trial and error I was able to frame shots correctly and effective enough to create a visual story and also act quickly upon receiving feedback from my written work in order to improve it instead of leaving it to the last minute. I have confidence in myself and the project I present such as my short film pitch and I was able to vary my tone of voice in order to engage the audience and enhance my presenting skills. I was consistent in eye contact most of the time when presenting my pitch. I was also consistent in maintaining my attendance to lessons. During the production of the 1 minute short film we didn't quite understand which role was assigned to which person. So we acted quickly upon feedback had a meeting about it and we felt slightly discouraged but we were able to pull ourselves together without any arguments and during shooting hours, I was able to support my team when it came to shooting the footage because they didn't know how to focus the camera. I also supported others outside of lessons since they didn't quite understand the concept of the task. Not only do I use a wide range of vocabulary in my written work, I am always open to the class in terms of answering questions orally; I contribute to the class and I share what I learned from A-level media and briefly taught the class some of the terminology that they were unfamiliar with. I also have the ability to identify trends in my research and I kept my research concise and used both primary and secondary sources in order to form a cogent research portfolio. I earned my skills through the use of Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro X. The ergonomics of Final Cut Pro was so much better because of how easy it is to use to edit and use transitions in the given project. Whereas using logic I had to rely on my curiosity in order to achieve a merit in my practical assessments on my first attempt. I was also vigilant when it came to starting a new project because dire consequences would occur if I was tampering with other people's work. My level of vigilance has allowed me to avoid all predicaments and made me aware of all deadlines and because of that it has allowed me to work effectively through the course. I always use my initiative meaning that I use my independent research in order to develop an understanding of the task and finish with ease.
