bbc trip review/evaluation

I think the bbc trip went well for me, even though I was really nervous before it happened that I would screw up big time luckily that never happened although I did mess up a few times, I've learnt a lesson from that to be more careful. I was actually dreading the trip I only decided to go because amber wanted me to and I'm glad I did go it was a brilliant opportunity to gain some experience with cameras and besides that it was fun.

What went well for me was when we were actually filming I somehow managed to hear what shots I needed to get through the either very loud or very quiet headphone thing I had on which was annoying me, I ignored it because in the middle of a recording was not the time to start complaining. Also in the end I sussed out which way to zoom in and done it almost perfectly during the recording.

What I would have improved on was the focus part on the camera was confusing me I would have asked more questions on the parts I was stuck on instead of trying to solve everything on my own, that’s probably the main reason I kept messing up. I think if I’d known how fun the day was going to be I would have been less shy at the start about sharing ideas.

What I liked about the day was that we got to work in a cool studio and work real cameras, it’s not every day you get to go to a professional studio and practice recording on cameras.

What I didn’t like on the day was the walk to the studio, especially how the weather was anyway it luckily wasn’t raining but it was wet and cold. Also we had to stand up to work the camera, my legs were hurting when we finished and then we had to walk back to Hewett with almost no sit down time before we went.

I learnt a lot on the day about how the cameras work, how they switch cameras, how the camera people know what shots to get and I also got to meet some new people. I've seen behind the scenes in the bbc on TV before but it was a lot more interesting being there in person rather than sitting on the sofa eating crisps watching some guy saying how this and that works.

Watching TV is different to listening to the radio because when you’re watching TV you’re actually watching an image with colour as well as sound whereas when you listen to the radio all you hear is sound. I've noticed that usually when you get a weather or news report on a radio they often have music playing very low in the background but there’s a lot less of that on TV.

AM and FM are forms of sound transmission in the form of radio waves. AM stands for Amplitude Modulation while FM stands for Frequency Modulation. Modulation is the manipulation of radio waves in order to transmit a meaningful (and translatable) signal. Morse code over electrical wires is modulation in that the series of dots and dashes are a standard code. AM and FM are different in how the radio wave is modulated. AM uses amplitude (or overall strength of signal) to transmit the message. FM uses frequency modulation (or manipulating the "spaces" between the radio waves) to transmit the message.

Interactive game review

I found this topic very hard and confusing, I need to improve on a lot of things relating to this topic. My only strength in my opinion was my ideas and planning, I think I done pretty good on that part, In this topic I felt that I could have listened more and tried to memorise more instead of simultaneously calling miss over to help every 5 seconds. I think I was just feeling lazy and I could’ve tried to do more on my own, I just didn’t want to mess it up. If my aim is to be a graphics designer when I grow up I’m going to have to learn how to use these basic programs like adobe flash and photoshop.

Creative.
I didn't really get any ideas for the game in my surrounding it just popped into my head while I was listening to the explanation of the task we needed to complete. I'm not the pretty in pink type of girl im into gore, horror and action so i started thinking about what in my interests i could use to help me with the project, i think thats where the idea came from. A haunted house sounded good to me at the time.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

 

video project review improvements

Video project review. "proof reading"

I think I’ve done alright in this project, there are a few things like the quality, lighting and locations I think I could’ve improved on because the image was a little blurry, the lighting was poor and the conference room where we filmed was a little cramped but I like my video and I’m happy that it’s over and done with.

What went well was that we actually found a decent interview location which was in the conference room, I was planning to do it A101 that’s the room next to us but the visual arts people were using it as they do all the time so we had to look for somewhere else. There were also less outtakes in the real one because we all knew what it was we had to do this time whereas in the practice shoot we weren’t very organised so we screwed up and got 12 takes of rubbish.

What didn’t go very well was the laughing and pausing between the questions and ben making amber laugh while she had a mouthful of coke and making her spit it everywhere, “thanks ben” so next time I don’t think I would have food in the interview room because it’s too distracting. There was also the problem in the room about the grass cutter guy outside making a lot of noise and making ben and amber laugh and the fact that the teacher next door to us had to keep walking through to talk to this grass cutter man but luckily that didn’t really get in the way it was the noise that was the problem. Although I didn’t like the idea that amber was pretending she was pregnant I went through with it anyway because I thought it might add a bit of comedy to the video.

So thanks to the people who took part J
