Skills Audit: Research Skills

Looking back at my AS year I feel like my research skills have greatly improved. Over last year I learnt loads, involving blogs, the media industry, useful websites, and even how to evaluate clips! I am now much more confident to get on with research on my own without having to keep asking for help. Evaluating clips is probably the most improved, I can now watch footage such as music video, as see not only what they have done, but why, and what techniques they have used to do this. This is very useful, as if I see an effect I like, I would be more able to recreate it myself using the same techniques. I have got so used to evaluating footage, that i can't even watch Eastenders now without commenting on the camerawork, editing or something!!
