Working away again..

Sophie and I went to take some images of the buildings we filmed in around college today. This will be a part of our location recce which we did before we started filming. Tomorrow I have to do my review so that I can give it to Sophie. This will give us another part to our production file. Later I will print off the location reccee when we are in the LG, so that I have some more work to give to Louis (Our production Manager)

Vector. Bitmap

Bitmap images are made up of lots of tiny squares. These squares are arranged together to create the effect of the image. If the image is very bright and clear it will have a higher resolution to an image which is fuzzy and a poorer quality. Higher resolution images are made up of lots of little dots which makes the image clear. The fewer dots there is the poorer the resolution. Bitmap images often have a large file size which is not good if you're trying to store a lot of these images. If you enlarge a bitmap image you will be able to see the formation of the tiny squares, this is a big disadvanage if you want to make the image alot bigger because you will lose the quality.

Vector Images are alot different to Bitmap. These images are not made up of tiny squares, they are put together by curves and straight lines Unlike Bitmap, with Vector you are able to make the image bigger without losing the quality. Also, Vector images usually have a really small file size so if you are looking to store lots of images then this vector has a big advantage over Bitmap.

Editing More Interviews..

Today Sophie and I were editing another interview for our promotional college website. The interview we edited was really short so we decided to add some more images on Adobe Premiere to make the video longer. Louis was using Flash to continue making our website. Josh was also editing the interviews we have.

Working on our day off, we must be good!

Today Louis and I went to college to do some more filming for our promotional college website. We did some filming at the front of the college, in the mechanics workshop, in the performing arts block and around the college square. It went really well and we got all of the filming down which we wanted to do.

Another day... Another post...

We have been given time in Jackey's lesson to get on with our assignment. This has been helpful because it has allowed us to get some of our notes typed up. I have receieved an email from Sophie which contains the budget, this will go in our pre-production file. We haven't been able to get on with any work on Flash because only a few computers in the college have Flash on them. This is a problem which is slowing us down alot in terms of getting the website working. :( I have updated the schedule which helps us determine how long we have left to do all of the tasks. Louis and I have decided that we will come in on Friday and get some filming done which we can use as cut-offs in our interviews.

1st November - Work. Work. Work.

Today, Sophie, Josh and I were using Adobe Premiere to edit some more interviews for our promotional college website. We cut out parts of the interview which weren't relevant and also made the video's fade in. We also faded the audio when someone else started to talk in the interview. Louis was using Flash and Photoshop to get the basic website so it functioned. As a group we decided that we needed to get some short cut off clips from around the college so we could add it to the interviews. I think today went really well and everything seems to be coming together. I really hope I will be saying the same at the end of the week!

Branding

Branding is one of the key aspects in a business, whether the business is small or large. When you get a brand name which is recognisable means that people can relate to your product in competitive markets. The brand is telling your customers what they can expect from the product. Once you have a brand it is important to be consistant, this is the key point to getting a successful brand. Strong brands allow the customer to build a trust between themselves and the product. Your brand is not only a name and a logo it also has to convay a message.
