Skill Development

Skill Development: 

From last years coursework, I developed some skills that are helpful to me this year. Because I made a a magazine front page, double page spread and contents page, when it came to making my magazine article, I'm finding a lot easier to work on it having done it once before. Also, I had learned a lot about conventions of magazines and what kind of elements to include. 

I used photoshop last year, and that is also the programme I am using this year for my poster and my double page spread article. Because I had already learned how to use Photoshop last year, I was able to get straight onto working on it and I am finding it a lot easier to use this year. Though incase there were any parts of the programme that I was unsure of or had forgotten how to use, I was given a guide on different features and how to use them before I started editing my work.

For all of the products, main film and 2 auxilliaries, I have done a lot of research so that I am able to develop my skills and make the best products that I can. I did some online research about what film posters, review articles and short films are like and what kind of elements to include. I watched some short films online, to make sure of certain things like the running time of them and the kind of cinematic choices that were used and what kind of institutions and companies made and produced these kind of short films.










Overall, my skills from last year have developed and helped me whilst making my products this year. I have also learned a lot more and am currently learning how to use the programme Premier Pro, which I am using to edit my short film.
