4.5 – Describe areas for development in your current knowledge and understanding of skills


What is your current knowledge and understanding of film?
My understanding of film, compared to others is quite small; though I have watched many types of films I have never been able to thoroughly read into what is happening within one scene.
Recently, I can analyse a sequence clearly: using mise-en-scene, types of lighting, sounds, colour symbolism, etc...

I also understand the economic side of film: the budget of each production, the theme set and the people who work hard to produce a successful project. I know that these areas are usually forgotten as most people tend to focus on the actors / cast that have been used to bring the characters to life.



What skills do you have?
I have a wide range of skills in different areas. My main "skill" is character / set design as I constantly have to scribble down my ideas or else I forget. This skill isn't an easy one either as it usually has to be quite detailed or else some people may not understand what you mean - or may misinterpret what your thought(s) are.

I also tend to dabble in the skill of script-writing / as I find that it links easily with the artistic side; making my ideas clear to my audience with a piece of dialogue or structure for a plot.

Music is also a strong skill I have as I find myself continuously humming a tune or envision a piece of music with the types of instruments and structure for my composition. To complete this, it could take a while but determination will kick in and urge me forwards towards completing it.

How would you like you develop your knowledge and skills?
To develop my skills, I would like to gain a more technical side as the film industry now relies heavily upon the fancy equipment to make a film more "realistic" and "believable. This would also add to my wide range of skills - making it possible to create / practice my own short film, showing off the skills that I may have.
