Group project for IDAT-108

This is the final project for the IDAT-108 unit, it is a group project with me, Kathleen and Jonathon working together to create a video that complies with either the Integrated Datawork or Soft Cinema option.

As neither of us are particularly fantastic at anything, and nobody is better than the other at the tasks, we have decided to share the work load and each do a bit of everything. The first thing we had to do was to decide what we were going to film and how to do it. We decided that we would be creating 360 panoramas of the University, the Hoe, the Barbican and the National Marine Aquarium.

Becuase we don't have enough space to store all of the panoramas, we have decided to focus on completing the tour for the Hoe. We went up to the Hoe with Karol and filmed along the promenade and down by Tinside pool, then back up. Jonathon rode the mobility scooter and did the filming while I followed behind recording the sound and Kathleen took high res photos so that we could use them in the tour.

The idea behind the high res photos was so that the user can click on them throughout the tour and they could see the thing they clicked on in high res, possibly with a description of what it is.

Presentation - not so good

Today was our groups presentation for Joassia, I thought it went pretty bad considering we had an extra week to prepare for it. Today I couldn't get thinking what I was going to say but then again that's no excuse but all I can do is improve for the next presentation and hopefully get a bit more confidence in doing them.

Presentation

Hello and welcome to my second installment for this module. Today was suppose to be our groups presentation but unfortunately Joasia was not in today, so this means that we will probably have to do it next week I suppose in one sense it gives us more time to do so more stuff for it but then again if we did it today we would of had it over and done with. I suppose we should look at this with a chance to make things a bit better.

TV Session

Well after just watching The Net for nearly two hours I thaught I would write a little about it - The Net is a documentry illustrating the start of the computer revolution as we know it today i.e. the net and also about Theodore (Ted) Kaczynski aka UnaBomber who was sentenced for bombings that he carried out over a period of 17 years. I found the film to be very informative and actually enjoyed it, I believe I got the connections that we were asked to identify. Well thats enough for me now as I have other things to do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Kaczynski
