Satti's Unit 6- England all da way

What Went Well?
I think the entire unit went well. Especially the filming and the editing. It was very enjoyable and fun this was because we listened to each other and agreed before hand what we were going to film and when. We all got turns to film and act also I think the planning went well, this is because there wasn’t a misunderstanding between any of us while we was filming and editing.
The editing went well because we all got turns to edit, and from our video production before we knew all the edit shots like, a cross dissolve for example. The editing was also made easier because again like the filming we had made a plan before hand; we had already chosen the music that we wanted to play.

What Are My Strengths?
I think I had quite a few strengths carried over from the video production before. These strengths were acting, editing and filming.
I think my acting strengths were there because I had some good reviews in the film which I first acted in so this gave me confidence, and I also knew the role I had to play in this film, so I think this was another strength for my Acting.
I already knew how to film before I came on this course but, throughout the year I picked up more skills in filming because I have learned many different shots. I think this helped me with my filming and this also gave me confidence on my filming, for example, when I had to film a scene, I knew to use a low-angle shot. I think this was my strength in Filming.
At the start of the year I knew nothing about editing, but then when we done our first video production, I picked up a few skills. I carried this onto this production and I also learnt quite a few more Editing skills like how to put the music on the scenes and also how to do a voice over. Editing isn’t my best skill but, I think I do have some Editing skills and these are something like where to put a cross-dissolve or a fade for example.

How Have I Developed My Skills over The FMP And Over The Whole Year?
I have developed my skills a lot over the FMP and the whole year. These have been: Filming Skills, Editing Skills, Acting Skills, Presentation Skills, Independence Skills, Group Work Skills, Computer Programme Skills and Organisation Skills.
My Filming Skills have improved over the year and throughout this course. As I said before, I have learned many different shots. This has helped me improve my filming skills because now I will recognise a Birds-eye shot, or a long-shot, or any other shot when I see one.
My Editing Skills have also improved over the year and throughout this course. Again, As I sad before, at the start of the year I knew nothing about editing, but then when we done our first video production, I picked up a few skills. I carried this onto this production and I also learnt quite a few more Editing skills like how to put the music on the scenes and also how to do a voice over. I didn’t even know that films had to be edited before they came out. This shows that I’ve learnt throughout the year. When I first had to edit, I was very nervous that I might to something wrong and destroy the work. I also didn’t know what Programme we had to use. But now I know all of this and I have picked up a decent skill that I never had before.
At the Start of the Year, I knew how to act but I didn’t think I would be confident enough to act in-front of a camera. My first piece of acting was in our first Video Production Gone. In Gone, I played the role of a boy who felt guilty that he and his friend had committed a robbery and a murder. Then the boy (me), explained to his friend that the Police had found out what they’d done and they both started to panic and in the end the friend killed his other friend (me). After this I had a few complements given to my acting, from this point onwards, my morale boosted up and now I am Confident to act and I know that I have the acting skill, although not of a professional.
At the start of the year, I didn’t have any confidence to stand in-front of a class and present my work. As the year progressed, so did my confidence. My presentation confidence’ main point of confidence was in the Magazine section, because this is where I got critised the most for my confidence; I got critised because I didn’t speak loud enough. The 2nd time around, I had praise for my presentation and this is where I got my presentation Skills from. Although, next year it’ll be harder because it’ll be a much bigger class with much more students and a lot more pressure.
I had Independence skills, but they have improved throughout the year, now I’ve got more confidence to go and do the work assigned to me on my now, and now I also understand the work better. This I a skill that will help me in the future like university.
I had group work skills, and this year just helped me improve them. Now I can receive criticism and praise where as, before I couldn’t do this.
At the start of the year, I knew a lot about computer programmes, I just didn’t know about Microsoft Publisher because I didn’t think it would be any use to me. In the Magazine section, I had to use Microsoft publisher and I start I struggled a lot, because I didn’t know how to use the programme but then I learnt from a classmate and from then on it’s been easy to use and less complicated. Because I learnt how to design the thing that I want to do on Publisher.
My organisation skills have improved hugely. At the Start of the year I didn’t have any orgasantion skills. I couldn’t even get my bag organised and I was flickering through it, I didn’t know which work was which and I always got my work out 10 minutes into the lesson and sometimes in was the wrong piece. The papers had scruffs all over them and I sometimes didn’t even used to do my homework. And even when I did do it, I couldn’t find it because my bag was so scruffy. But the one day Mr Bush helped me organise myself and from that day on I started to improve my organisation skills immensely and now I can figure out which work is which teachers because I have a folder. These skills will be key in A-levels and University, so it’s a good thing that I picked these skills up now.

How could I go about devolving my skills further?
I will look back, on the work that I’ve achieved, and continue to develop my skills and work hard in lessons.

How Could I Go about Monitor My Achievements?
