This document is a personal skills audit that evaluates the skills developed and used in creating a previous media production project. It identifies the digital technologies and software used, including Photoshop, cameras, Final Cut Express, and iMovie. Research tasks like a 9 frame analysis and researching genre conventions helped with planning and creating the production efficiently. Software like Final Cut Express and iMovie were utilized for editing. Conventions from analyzed media texts provided inspiration. Going forward, the individual plans to improve their skills with the software and organization to further develop their final product and ensure it is completed on time for their next project.

1. Personal Skills Audit
Name:_______________________________________
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?
Photoshop
Cameras
Final Cut Express
iMovie
Green Screen
They helped me produce my
final product and evaluation
I will try to improve these skills
and knowledge with these
software’s to make my final
product even better.
Post production
- What software did you
use to create your
production?
- Discuss specific features
of the software.
Final Cut Express
iMovie
iMovie helped me get a idea of
the editing techniques we could
use. We used Final Cut
Express for our final product as
it was easier to use and had a
lot more features.
By further improving my
knowledge on these software’s I
will figure out more features to
help further develop our final
product.
2. Research and Planning
- What tasks did you
complete when
preparing to film your
sequence?
- How did your planning
help the smooth
progression of your film?
Using conventions of real
media texts
- Which texts did you
analyse?
- Did you take any
inspiration from the
conventions found from
your research?
We completed various research
tasks such as a 9 frame
analysis and researching
common horror conventions.
After researching we began
planning our product. This
included recce shots and call
sheets. We had a schedule
sheet to help us organize when
we were filming.
We used different horror movie
openings to create a 9-frame
analysis and deconstruction of
titles.
Creativity
We used stereotypical
- were our ideas for your
conventions in our product as
portfolio imaginative and unique we thought this would be better.
or did you adhere to
conventions?
Our research helped us decide
what common horror
conventions we wanted to
include in our product. They
helped us create our product
more efficiently so we could
complete our product before the
deadline.
We will try and organize our
time better so we can finish our
product earlier and make sure
everything is completed on
time.
It helped us think about where
our titles should be placed and
in what font and colour. The 9
frame analysis helped us figure
out what kind of shots we
needed to include.
We will try to use as many
ideas from music videos as we
can to help show tradition and
conventions within our product
to help show genre within our
music video.
We used stereotypical
conventions in our product as
we thought this would help
make our genre more
recognizable.
I think we may use conventions
to help the audience
understand what genre our
music video is.
