Personal Skills Audit Name: Aimee Sherry

Skills acquired How did these skills contribute to the creation of

your product?

How will you develop these skills during the A2 project?

Digital technology- What

equipment/software packages did you use to produce your production?

As a group we used a range of different technologies for our final project. We used a handheld camera, Dolly/ Track and a crane. We used Photoshop to edit photos and different websites to present our work.

The skills I learnt allowed me to work to the best of my ability and produce a good quality film with a vade verity of different techniques with the help of the crane ect. All the techniques helped our film reach its target audience and make our film more enjoyable and realistic. The Photoshop skills helped me create a logo for our film and also fit in with our edit conventions to our chosen genre, which was film noir.

During A2 I will progress and develop my skills by practicing using the various technologies. Having more time to work with camera will improve the quality of my A2 work.

Post production- What software did you

use to create your production?

- Discuss specific features of the software.
