Once you have completed this audit you need to write a brief report of at least two paragraphs that gives an overall impression of what your main strengths and weaknesses are in approaching the coursework unit.

My main strengths in media would be the production side. Creating publications, images, films ECT… I am able to repsent genre, age, and audience very well with in my production work. I am also, good at looking deeper into the meaning and effect of a media artifiact. I am also very good a taking digital photographs and ensembaling them in both photoshop and publisher programs. 

I am not so good at the press side “storys”. I am not confidant in recuting people to become apart of my work. My weaknesses are writing what I think and attempting to finish questions. I often side track when talking and developing ideas.
