Pretty much all of the skills we have learnt during this prelim are transferrable to next term's music video coursework.
Through the performance coaches and rehearsals I have gained the confidence to perform for a music video in front of a camera. Next year we will probably end up performing in our own videos as it is easier for scheduling and practicality; therefore we will be able to apply the performance skills we have learnt. Embodying a character is one of these performance skills. I have also learnt how important costume is for developing a character so we will spend a lot of time on it next term.

Because we now have an experience of shooting in the Seward Studio we know how it works and its capabilities and limits. By helping in various departments, I am confident using it which will be useful next year when we will be shooting in there by ourselves. The studio is flexible and can be changed to suit most genres, an aspect which i'm sure we will exploit.

Having edited my own version of the 'Girls' video, I now know how to edit a music video with a loose narrative structure. However, the editing of a video with a narrative can also be applied to those without narratives. For example, the use of cross cutting between scenes and setups is used in non-narrative music video. Editing by laying a performance bed is also a skill I will carry through to next term.

In short, over the course of this prelim I have acquired skills that will aid me in all aspects of next term's coursework.
