Skills Audit: Research



Thinking back to the research that I conducted for my AS practical work (making a thriller film opening), my skills in research have developed largely.

I didn’t have a lot of knowledge on my topic to begin with, as I have never really been into films that much. I also don’t feel I learned a lot about films during the course, and that made research less easy to do because I never really knew where to start when it came to looking for relevant research.

This year however, I had a bit of knowledge about music videos to begin with as they are something that have always interested me. I spend a lot of time watching music videos, and I connect with this topic a lot more than the last. I have also learned a lot about music videos since I have started this course; I think I have learned more in these few weeks than in the whole of the course last year. This has enabled me to conduct proper research because I know exactly what it is that I need to research, and I have knowledge that enables me to know what to look for.
