Digital Technology skills audit

Throughout the years i have been studying media studies i have accumulated many skills in the following digital technologies.

For example when using desktop publishing i can:
- Create text boxes
- Change size of text box
- Insert text
- Change the size/colour of text
- Layer objects
- Change order of objects
- Rotate shapes

I can also use the software Photophop and by doing so i can:
- Add delete backgrounds
- Change opacity
- Layer images

However when it comes to using equipment such as a camcorders i lack a in depth knowledge in order to produce a high quality piece of media. I can use a tripod, load a tape, zoom in and out. But i am unable to apply different settings such as making it black and white. I am also untrained when editing video footage as i unable to cut footage, move footage, change time speed, add effects, remove sound, rewind movies and create them. I can however capture footage, this may be a basic skill but is essential when creating the piece of media.

Overall, i have many strengths when looking at digital technologies such as using desk top publishing and photoshop. However, i do require some assistance on other aspects such as using a video editing as this is not one of my areas of expertise.
