The term "skill" to me personally differs dependinding on what aspect is discussed or performed in terms of a media production task. The first sort of skills required of one is their mental abilities, these are mainly used in the pre-production phase as you are required to make a script, choose loations and choose a genre. ICT skills are required


These are the certain skill aspects will determine the success of my media piece, I will need to develop and improve on all these parts over the course of the year.
