How do you evaluate your skills?

Evaluating your own skills can be tricky - it's hard to be objective about yourself and your own work sometimes.  Use the following 5 point guide to help you develop these skills:

For every 'activity' that you write about, be it using split screen in editing (post production), using youtube (research and planning); examining real products (conventions from real media texts); or framing your shots (digital technology), you should bear in mind the following 5 points:

• What did you do (exactly)?
• How useful/effective was it?
• How does what you did link to your production work?
• How did it help you progress?
• What did you learn from it?

Eventually you will get into the habit of reflecting back on everything that you do or write about.
