LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• K: The requirements for each of the briefs set by OCR.

I chose the music video and website brief because I think it would be an interesting type of media to explore. On the music video side, I will be challenging myself in order to create it such as the different angles and shots, whereas, for the website, I already have the skills and knowledge in order to create one. When editing the footage, I have the skills to use Premiere Pro. These skills include cutting and adding clips, zooming in and out, adjusting audio, adjusting colour contrast and adding colour effects, adding transitions for visual and audio effects and much more. In relation to this, I want to add to these skills and learn more to a high standard. I also want to learn how to use final cut. For the making of the website, I know how to use Blogspot, Wixx, and briefly, Adobe Portfolio. I want to learn how to use photoshop as I think it will be needed for Photos which will be featured on the website.
