Weymouth College

A little something that I did on Photoshop following another tutorial of course. Let me know what you think :)
This tutorial was really short but I think it is a great way of editing text.

Trying out a Photoshop Tutorial

Today I followed a tutorial to create a 'Light Burst' effect. The end result could have been better but I tried my best :) If anyone else wants to give this tutorial a go the address is:

I find that following tutorials are helpful because you pick up lots of skills as you go along.

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.
