-A particular ability
- an ability that has been acquired by training

I understand the term skill as the ability to act or use a specific object or technique. In media this could be having the skill to use a camera expertly, by knowing the various camera movements and shot sizes. This could be editing skills. Having the ability to add or remove effects whilst editing raw footage.
