Final skills audit

Feature	Yes	No	Comments if yes – where have you completed this skills and to what level
Manual Focus features	x		I used this when taking my photos, when I first used the Cannon the quality was not as I had hoped, as I was unfamiliar with the equipment. However, when taking my images for my final product, I felt more comfortable with how to use the Cannon and my images were of a higher quality.
Shutter Speed	x		When I was using this I set the time and the rate at which the camera takes photos, when taking photos of running water and falling leaves ensured the shutter speed was high enough to capture the images.
Aperture control	x		I have used this within my coursework for Film Studies.
ISO Control	x		I used this when taking my images outside, to start with the images came out black, by changing the ISO setting from around 200 to 800, this allowed a greater amount of light to enter the camera. After changing the ISO setting my photos improved massively.
A tripod	x		I used this when shooting my coursework for my film. This involved recording my final product for film, which was of a high quality.
