The document discusses the development of digital technology skills over the course of Foundation and Advanced Production work. In Foundation Production, the brief was for a new music magazine, where digital SLR, still cameras, iMovie, PhotoShop, internet research, and PowerPoint were used to present information. Challenges included learning Photoshop layers and using various technologies. In Advanced Production, more sophisticated effects like color correction and slow motion were mastered using iMovie. Prezi and SlideShare were used in a blog, and feedback was more efficiently obtained through YouTube. Overall, digital skills were significantly improved through extensive hours spent editing and testing abilities.

1. Skills development – Digital
Technology
• Describe and evaluate your skills development over the course of your
production work from Foundation Portfolio to Advanced Production.
Digital technology
• Start with the preliminary exercise. Describe what you learnt to do
FINISH FOR PREP & POST ON ITS OWN PAGE
Move to the Foundation Production. State clearly what the brief was (new
music magazine) and what digital technologies you used THROUGHOUT
the whole process (digital SLR movie camera; digital stills camera; iMovie,
all the effects that you used like sound, transitions, importing stills;
PhotoShop to manipulate photos; internet for research and planning; a
wide spread of different technologies to present information such as
PowerPoint, videos, voiceovers). You may have used YouTube for
feedback. You created your own channel on YouTube. You may have used
FaceBook for feedback. You learned to use layers on Photoshop

2. Skills development – Digital
Technology
• As you go, EVALUATE how you did. Say how difficult it was /
how successful you were / what you managed to do / what
was challenging / how long it took / what mistakes you
made.
• Move on to the Advanced Production. Describe what new
digital technologies you mastered. State how much more
you used digital technologies, for example in your blog
where you used Prezi, Slideshare, .................etc.. This time,
you used many more sophisticated effects such as for
continuity editing such as colour correction, slowmo, stop
frame animation, .......You were really pleased with your......
You used iMovie to create....... You used YouTube for
feedback again but this time round, you were more
efficient.

3. Skills development – Digital
Technology
• TIPS:
• Identify ALL digital technologies
• Describe how you used them with examples from your
work
• Describe what was hard / went wrong with an example
describe your challenges and successes with examples
one or two sentences in conclusion: I must have spent
more than 30 hours editing and I think my skills were
tested to the limit mastering continuity editing.
• I am pleased that I have acquired completely new skills
in digital technology, such as...
