Skills

Over the course of six months, I have developed skills and learnt new ones. These include building my time management this is mainly due to the things expected in, or projects, time management gives you the ability to make sure you have all of your things on time. From experience poor time management leads to projects not being to the best of your or their ability. I’ve developed my communication skills especially in team projects. Communicating my ideas and thoughts on other people’s ideas was always something I struggled with, the past year I have pushed myself to be more vocal about what I think would work and my ideas have sometimes been used and other times we have built on those ideas and included everyone’s, being able to communicate the way I think things would work made me more involved. Along with my communication development came teamwork, teamwork again has been something I’ve always hated but the ability to work in a team is important so I pushed myself and I have developed teamworking. Using this towards making our project the best it could possibly be, using all of our ideas and suggestions made this easier, which is why teamwork is so important.

Some of my strengths include positive attitude, resilience and problem solving. These are all important skills to have for many reasons, having a positive attitude keeps you in a good mood during the day, it keeps you well focused and it also keeps the people around you smiling. Being resilient is also very important it means you can again stay focused but it also means that if it gets difficult or you don’t want to do it you normally keep going anyway, it also means you can help other people and push through tough situations. Problem solving means that you can handle and think up new ways when a bad situation or a problem comes your way, for example say a clip of your footage is blurry instead of panicking or after panicking for a small while in my case, you would be able to think of a way to sort it out and deal with the issue and still make your project in time.

However some of my weaknesses like I mentioned earlier are, communication, self motivation and organisation. I am working on improving my communication, by asking for help more often when I feel stuck, asking for help means I can broaden my knowledge as well as getting the work done the way its supposed to first time. Self motivation makes at work home easier, it means you can keep going with work and find it easy, without getting distracted or bored. It also means that I can then get on with my work without talking and distracting my peers meaning we can all get more work done. My organisation skills are shocking, I need to build them up so I can get everything done on time, being organised also means I can bring the right things to college, put the right clips in the right folders and everything will be where it is meant to be. This will be good because it means I wont have to worry about everything on the day because I know I will have it already.
