Mind maps

Image
A mind map is  a diagram in which information is represented visually, usually with a central idea placed in the middle and associated ideas arranged around it.  My task was to make a mind map based off of research on what can help an media product.  Mind Map Advantages of doing this online was that it was easier to upload as I just have to create a link. Also it is easier to be more creative online as you have the internet. Disadvantages is that I could've added image or made it a bit more creative. I prefer hand drawing it as it is easier and you have a lot more room when writing it by hand.   This is my mind map drawn by hand.

Sources

A source provides information about a specific topic. Examples of sources are:  the internet, books, magazines, technical manuals.    This is an example of a source.     Internet  The internet provides access to a vast amount of information. For example you can find website that give instructions on how to set up a website.  Books  Even though the internet has a lot of information that fast and easy to access, there's a posibility that that the information isn't from an expert in the field. You could learn better.  Technical manuals  These are created to support the use of a product by providing step-by-step information that enables users to set up. These are basically instructions. Often include images or animation to help make it easier to follow.  Magazines  Can include valuable information on sources that can be used to develop interactive media products.

Techniques

 The main techniques people can use are: Sound editing  This is a technique used to add sound effects, alerts, background sound, dialogue and music to interactive media product.  Animation  Is a great way to make media interactive.For example gaming uses a wide range of animation to engage players. Websites use a range of animation such as scroll bars to both engage users and make navigation between page to page easier.  Video editing  This is a technique used to rearrange different shots to create a final version of a version that is ready to be viewed. Video editing can be used for:  combine scenes, remove unwanted scenes, add audio or even add computer-generated imagery.  An example of an app you can use for video and sound editing is called Adobe premier clip.  Image Manipulation different techniques can be used to change or transform a image in a range of ways to suit specific needs. Resolution is included with this. Digital images are made up of pixels. When an image is manipulat

Hazards

 A hazard is something that may be dangerous or risk. Examples of this are computer, movement, furniture, heating and fire. It is important that companies try to identify potential hazards so that they can plan to avoid them. To plan for hazards people try and do a risk assessment. This identify the risks and how they can ensure that it is safe.Every company should do this.  Safe work practices are often put in place after a risk assessment to give instructions on how to carry out a task safely. These can put be put out for many tasks to minimize risk when a person is doing a job.  Location Recce is typically carried out before recording a video to test a suitability of a location.  My task was to make a risk assessment based off of the classroom.  Risk assessment

Storyboards

 What is a storyboard? A storyboard is a series of drawings created by hand or digitally beside of what is happening in the scene. They can help to plan the animation or video and are usually drawn by hand.They are used to organise what is going to be happening and what the people need and visualising what each scene will look like while filming. The arrows are very useful to show movement.If the arrow is inside of the square it means that the character is moving and if the arrow is outside the square it shows that the camera is moving. Examples of the arrows are:  Arrows pointing down mean that the movement is tilt shot, high to low, low to high. Arrows pointing sides mean pan shot, camera or character moving left to right  or right to left  Arrows pointing towards the middle showing that the camera is zooming in.  An example of storyboards. This clearly shows what is going to happen in the scene and helps to tell the director what they will need in the scene so they can organise and
