progression goals info

So far i have be to an open day at Derby university also demontford university. i have also attended he fair at demontford university so i could see what unis did what courses and the the different options that are available for the different unis.

does this site require thought

the purpose of this site is to sell clothing and accessories to alternative people. there is an easy to understand menu on the left hand side which takes you to the exact part of the site that you want to get to. you can buy the products using fifteen different currencies information on the site is easily accessible again on the left hand side. vision impaired people may not be able to to view the text in the menu. this site doesn't really require lots of thinking you can get from a to b easily. so 0 being obvious and 10 requiring lots of though id give it a 1.

understanding current uses of video in interactive media

there are many different platforms for interactive media some of them are: pc and internet, mp4 players, atm machines, TV-sky/cable ,world web, email attachments, DVD, cd rom, kiosks, presentations and mobile devices.

Video can be used to produce adverts, to promote, educate and inform. This is an effective way to transfer information.

Using video has its constraints, like mobile phones will have low quality.

Some platforms can be better than others for video. For example atm machines would be simple slideshows whilst it is not active rather than videos which will be ignored because people only use the machine when they need money.

The world web is where you can view sites with text, images and video but again there is constraints videos on the web can be viewed through flash player and not everyone has flash.

Email attachment is where something is attached to an email wither its an image or a video again there is a constraint if the video file is to big you cant download it like if you have limited internet like me only having 50mb a month will limit you to how much you can download.

Dvds come in different formats like flv, mpeg , avi, wmv, mov.
Dvd is a popular optical disk storage media format. many resolutions and formats are supported, most consumer DVD-Video discs use mpeg 2 most dvd players support all dvd formats DVD-Video also supports features such as menus, selectable subtitles, multiple camera angles, and multiple audio tracks.

A Cd rom is a compact disk that contains data, there use to distribute computer software including games. The capacity of a cd rom is 682 mb which gives you the playing time of 74 minuets this would be considered as a constraint if you have produced something that runs longer than 74 minuets.

A kiosks is an interactive touch screen computer. You will find then in hospitals, car showrooms, they provide information, gather data, gather opinions, and even entertaining children in museums.

For presentations you can use video in them like have a flash player but people that don’t have flash wont be able to veiw your full presentation.

Interactive media is use for a range of things like making short films, adverts, film trailers,virtual reality tours, e-learning and games.

Video data compression processes information using fewer bits which is useful for helping to reduce transmission of band width. The down side of compressed data is the it needs to be uncompressed to be viewed.

Formats ,mov ,avi, digital TV uses mpeg 2. When playing a video on the web it has a, Bit rate is a measure of the rate of content in a video a higher bit rate allows better video quality. In digital multimedia, bit rate is often the number of bits used per unit of playback such as audio or video after data compression Variable bit rate is a way to maximize the visual video quality and minimize the bit rate also it depends on the amount of people watching the video at the same time. On fast motion scenes, a variable bit rate uses more bits than it does on slow motion. The smaller the bit rate a video the less download you use. Streaming media storage is a file system of megabytes and gigabytes and terabytes and so on, which is calculated from streaming bandwidths and the length of a video/media .. some of the screen resolutions are 800 x 600, 1024 x 768 and higher apparently around only 8% use a 800 x 600 monitor so its better to make your video that small because if you make a video for a wide screen monitor then people using a small screen will only see half the video and have to use the bottom scroll bar.

video

the examples i have chose for interactive videos are banner adds a dvd menu and an interactive film where you chose what happens.

there are contraints for these some bigger than others. if its a video your internet can be a constraint for exaple you have download limits so limeted to how many videos you watch and the quality you watch it at, if download is slow hte buffering will be slow and can take the video long to buffer than the amount of play time it has. dvd is better for watching videos because you dont have a download limet,dvd files come in flv, mpeg, avi, wmv, mov.

The spiderwick chronicals

this is another site that uses png 32. this site gives you good visual feedback it contains graphics inside buttons which is made to move on the over state. some of the options highlight in blue to show there something.
