Skills Audit: How my research skills have developed over AS

The AS course required a lot of independent research and learning for practical work.

I have developed skills in research in the terms that I can further develop ideas by researching similar idea, seeing how they incorporated them and then try to imitate them in my own way. I have also been able to research about the topic and tried to copy some ideas into my own.

     I try to learn from other people’s weaknesses, and take their strengths and make them stronger when doing them in my own work. Therefore allowing my film to be a lot stronger.

     However, at the beginning of the AS course, my research skills were not so good, but not because, obviously, I hadn’t gotten to develop my skills because I had just started the course, but because I didn’t allow myself to try and do more research. This year I plan to start with extension research straight away so that when it comes to making my video, I am well informed.
