Evaluation of key skills

I feel that since starting my AS media course the skills I have learnt and improved these new skills are in various area's, these are those area's I believe I have in:


  • Photo shop: At the start of the course I had no idea on how to use photo shop, but over the first weeks of college I learnt the basics of the software. I can now produce a decent looking front cover or edit an image to achieve a more aesthetic look thanks to the help in school.
  • Photography: My photography skills were already fairly well developed thanks to a interest in the subject. I feel from lessons in school where we have analysed magazine covers I feel like my ability to take shots with models as well as commercial shots has come on greater and developed my photography  to a higher standard. 
  • Terminology: At the start of the course I did know that Media Studies did come with quite the hefty amount of terminology so when we were tasked with analysing our first magazine cover out terminology was quite limited, but now when we do this the quality of detail is much higher.
  •  Analytical: I feel like this course as helped to deepen my analytical thinking, I now feel I can look at a magazine cover or any other media product I can see the intended effect of why they have done this.
