Shaun Anderson completed a personal skills audit to assess the digital technology, post-production, research and planning, and creativity skills they acquired and will develop for an A2 project. They used a Panasonic video camera, tripod, green screen studio, Blogger, Final Cut Express, and Photoshop to produce a product with their partners. Shaun plans to improve their camerawork, editing, and logo design skills during the next project.

1. Personal Skills Audit Name: Shaun Anderson
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?
I acquired the skills to use:
Panasonic Video Camera
Tripod
Blogger
Green Screen Studio
Using these skills I, along with
my partners, made our product
simpler.
For the Panasonic camera, we
gained skills from camerawork
by experimenting with shots
and angles.
We used the tripod to see what
angles we could use and if we
could do anything unique.
We used the green screen
studio as part of our evaluation.
Two people were stood in front
of the green screen evaluating
our work while footage from our
film was playing in the
background.
Post production
- What software did you
use to create your
production?
- Discuss specific features
of the software.
The software I primarily used to
edit my product in post-
production was Final Cut
Express. The features of the
software I used included
creating transitions, titles,
cutting footage etc.
Using these skills I, along with
my partners, made our product
simpler.
For Final Cut Express, it helped
me use more advanced tools
for editing our product.

2. I used Photoshop to create a
logo for my production
company.
