lips syncing review
whilst creating our short video of taylor swfit, our task was to lip sync eachother singing her song 'never getting back together' i feel like from this task i have learnt lots of important factors when making a music video for example we soon found out thar it would of been impossible to sync up the song unless when we were actually videoing eachother we had the long playing out loud and the performer was also sining the song aloud. other factor we found out we had to do was to sing the whole song. whilst doing our task we found out that there was lots of things we may have to avoid in order to make the lip syncing workshop successful for exaample we tried not to use long shots as its hard to sync, and that having the confidence whilst filmimg as it will make your performance look 100% better and adding narrative that fits the either the lyrics or song. we also learnt that having framing and composition for example shots that perhaps fit the narrative as you have to beware of the surroudnings making sure that it wouldnt effecr your filming.

skills development
How have my skills been developed in AS and how could they be improved in A2?
Research and planning
At the start of AS my research and planning skills were very vague throughout the project i learnt more on how to develop my research and planning skills as i knew the more in dept i went with it, it would help me later on in making my project. As i was still developing my research and planning skills through the AS i feel like i could further improve by making sure that all research and planning are fully completed before starting the production of my project as this would benefit me in the future, i also feel like i could of explored different types of genres before deciding on a specific one for our project which could of gave us a lot of variety for our project.
Using conventions from real media texts
I feel like using conventions from real media texts during AS was definitely one of my stronger skills that i developed, as i feel like i done this thoroughly i noticed the impact it had on the production of my project e.g. making it a lot easier knowing the conventions from real media texts that i focused on before making our project which paid off at later stages in the project. although i am very positive about using conventions from real media texts there are still improvements that can be made to help me during A2.
digital technology
Creativity
Creativity is area that i tend to struggle with as i am not a creative person, AS has helped me to develop those skills using various websites and ways to present my work for my project. whilst being creative with the ways i present my work, my knowledge on using certain websites such as prezi and pixton is at a minimum, in order to help me at A2 i would like to develop my knowledge and how to use the websites successful and independently. this would definitely be a main area of improvement for me.
Post production
As much as i enjoyed the post production of my project, my camera and editing skills were again vague although i had pervious practise at GCSE my skills then were still very basic so i found editing and filming quite a difficult task at the start but as the project went on i had more practise and my skills gradually developed. Now at the end of AS and beginning of A2 my skills can still be developed in order to be successful in A2, to help me during A2 i would like to develop my photoshop skills as i think that would really help my project when it comes to post production.
