Skills Audit

Name:   Before √       After
Skill	None	A bit but not confident	Basic	Competent	Proficient	Notes
Secondary research			√			The reason why my secondary research is basic is because although I have done it and I do understand it, I could improve on it
Primary research		√				I think at the beginning of this project I wasn’t very good at this but throughout doing this project I have improved quite a bit
Documenting process		√				At the beginning of this project I wasn’t good at this at all but towards the end I have become very good at this but now I am good at this and know how to do it well.
Communication		√				I think that my communication in this project at the beginning was not too good but now I am a lot better at this now, I’ve done this by listening more.
Working with others		√				My ability at working with others has improved because the people I have worked with are better people so they are better to work with.
Working independently				√		My ability at working independently has stayed the same really I am quite good at this but I wouldn’t say I have improved however I am looking at improving this next year.
Reflection			√			My ability to reflect on what I have done is better, I think that I understand what to do in reflection more now.
Planning			√			My ability to plan things has stayed the same, I am looking to improve this next year.
Technical problem solving				√		My technical problem solving is good, and again it can still be improved so I will focus on doing that next year.
Storyboarding		√				My ability to do a story board has improved but there is still loads of space for improvement.
Scriptwriting	√					I think that at the beginning of this project I had no idea how to script write and despite my latest film not having a script I think that my ability to do so is a lot better.
Casting		√				I think I have got better at casting because I have a better eye for what people would be better for certain rolls and not just getting anyone who can do it to just do that roll.
Camera				√		My camera work is quite good but I wouldn’t say I have improved as such so I can  improve this next year.
Lighting				√		The lighting overall needs to be developed in year 2 but I do think that I have improved in this part of filming.
Recording sound			√			I think that my ability to record sound has stayed the same because I haven’t had to do this for my project or anyone else’s project.
File management (naming files and backing them up				√		I think that I have always been good at this but now I think that I do this very well every time and my files are all organized and I know where to go if I need to find anything on my computer files or hard drive.
Editing				√		Editing is something I have always enjoyed, although I am good at editing there is still loads of things I need to learn about it to improve myself as a professional editor.
Post production			√			My understanding of post-production has improved, I know what it is and what to do during post production like doing a survey, although I didn’t do this for this project I will for future projects.
Colour grading			√			My knowledge and skills has stayed the same because I haven’t really used it but it is something I want to use this in year 2.
Presenting			√			My presenting skills have improved a lot because my confidence has been boosted and I take it more seriously so it is better overall.
Evaluating			√			I think this evaluation I have done is one of the best pieces of writing I have done so far.  I am quite proud of it, I think I have improved my evaluating skills a lot but I can still do better in year 2.s
