Over the past 2 years I have gained both practical and transferable during my Level 3 BTEC Media course. For instance I have now picked up important ICT Skills thats have related to my Media work such as, Final Cut Pro which was used a lot over the two years because thats was the software I used to edit my footage for all of my productions for example my documentary, chat show, short film, TV advert, and music video. Each of these productions show my different abilities for different types of productions that I created, this is shown in the editorially with the help and use of the special effects, sound, transitions and graphics.
At the beginning of my first year I also had to adjust to a new site to me called Blogger, that I was going to have to often use since thats where all my work will be handed in and I am able to share that work with my teacher. I had to learn that for each unit I had to make a new blog for each so that posts didn't clash with others. Also attaching both images and videos to my posts using the icons at the top of the blogger post since you were not able to just drag it to the work from the desktop, but there was a process of going through files. Teamwork is another skill that I have gained during my BTEC Media course since we have had to do this regularly when putting a production. This then built up my communication skills since we have to communicate to get the production done since their were deadlines that we had to meet. An example of a time that my group and I had to communicate is when pitching our ideas to one another, such as my chat show pitch were I had to explain in full detail and then they had to communicate back to me with comments and also questions.
Another skill that I have gained throughout my two years is to listen to one another when were doing our productions. For instance when doing our focus groups we have to listen to our feedback therefore we are able to improve so that our audience will enjoy it more and it can build up our audience making it more and more popular.
Another skill that I have learned throughout the the two years is the different camera languages and how to use them effectively for example when filming shots its important not to use a lot of dead space, and that long shots look so boring so its important to keep shots short. Also its good to use different shots, movements, and angles during the filming process because its good to have shots to play around with during the editing stages.
