Skills Audit 

My skills since AS have developed in the way that I conduct my research as I have investigated a wider range of theories to look at; for example Mulvey's theory etc. In addition to this, last year I thought that without planning, the production can go ahead smoothly. This is a lesson I learnt the hard way and this year I understood clearly that I had to plan beforehand with production and locations etc.

Another different element this year includes the copyright permission we had to receive in order to use the songs we chose for our music videos. We didn't have to do this last year. This made me understand the importance of copywriting and how imperative it is to receive permission for music/footage you want to use.

Last year, it was easier to choose a song choice for our film openings as we chose a genre and then chose a stereotypical song to go with the genre. This year, it proved more of a challenge owing to the music being the main element of the music video, and setting the genre as opposed to matching it.
