Laura Davies conducted a personal skills audit to assess her digital technology and post-production abilities and how she can further develop them during her second year of study. She has acquired camera skills like different shot types and equipment use as well as experience with Photoshop, FinalCut, and Wixx from her first year coursework. Laura plans to improve her camera skills in her second year through more advanced shots and intends to build upon her existing software knowledge and skills for future projects.
