I believe I am quite a creative person since I do art and I like to think outside of the box. This is a useful quality for making something that gives attention to people as it would differentiate my work from others.Furthermore, eventhough I didn't meet my deadline for my Media Film Opening last year but I think my punctuality in posting my blogs and doing other things like filming the footages are " ON FLEEK "

because I really take Media seriously and I put alot of effort in producing each posts. I am a very arty person therefore it bothers me when I don't do things beautifully so I believe I really do things in good quality and on time eventhough this year would be alot harder than last year since there is more work and I am creating 2 music videos but I believe i could maintain my punctuality. However, I am not really good in instructing others to do things and my leadership skills is poor at times especially when it comes to deciding as I am quite indecisive so this could slow down the process of making the video because of the extended planning.


However, my technical skills are not quite good because I am not good at using programmes like Final cut pro, Premier and After effects eventhough I did Media Studies last year but I believe it could have been better as the effects were quite easy to do. I am not really confident in using softwares that require alot of skills but I am very confident in using iMovie which is the basic program for editing videos ( not professional) Next, I think my use of camera and filming is not that great but I learnt that tripod really helps making the video look more professional so I will try and focus on the stillness of the camera when filming this year since last year I didn't really understand the importance of the tripod so the footage we took was quite shaky. But luckily it matched with the last year's theme so we kinda got away with it. 
This year we didn't need specific skills like dancing or singing but we just need someone who can act realistically as our music video will be mainly narrative not performance-based video as we want our video to be quite abstract and tells a some sort of a story.


My Aim this year is...
To improve my technical skills as I would challenge myself by working with complex programmes like " Premier " which I didn't use last year and also to improve my skills at using " After effects " For example to make the effects seems more natural and use harder and complex effects to enhance the overall look of the video. Also, last year we started filming quite late because our planning wasn't finished that fast eventhough it was on time by the deadline but I will try my hardest to finish the planning beforehand so I can add and adjust things to my video.
