13/10/22 - The Tea Piece Pt.2

In today's lesson, we began to edit our tea pieces. To start the day, we first had to transfer the video files from our phones, onto our computers, so that we could use them on our editing software Premier Pro. We then had to open these videos on the program, by creating a new project from the file that included the videos, meanwhile making sure that the new project was named and put into the correct file area.

We then had to alter our video clips to fit the correct format, meaning that we had to make them play 25 frames per second, at 1080p, as our phones did not film in these specifications. We did this, by clicking on one of our videos, and then pressing "Create Sequence from Clip".  We then went to Sequence, and Sequence settings, where we changed the current settings to the ones we needed. We then had to export this new sequence, by making sure that the preset we had selected, was DNxHQ 1080p 25, and that the new file would be exported into a new file within our videos file, under the name DNxHQ. I then had to personally change the size of my videos as well, by when changing the Sequence Settings of a new Sequence from Clip, making sure that everything matched up to what we needed earlier, and then before exporting the new sequence, dragging the size Scale down, so that the videos fit inside the 1920x1080 box. I would then export the video, making sure that the specifications were what I needed, and exported the video into the DNxHQ file that I had made earlier on. I had to do this for all of my videos, so that they all fit into the same format.

After doing this, I then had to close down this project file, and open a new one, with the videos inside of the DNxHQ file, so that everything in the project fit the correct specifications for video playback. Once this new project was opened, we then had to choose a video clip, and same as before, create a new sequence from the clip, which would start our sequence of videos that we could add to.

Throughout the rest of day, I then played around with what video clips I wanted in my sequence, and where I wanted them placed in relation to each other. I also had to cut some of the clips down to fit into the final video's 90 second time-limit better, and add some video effect to make the cut scenes look slightly better and less clunky.

After I had finished my video sequence, I received some teacher feedback about different video clips and camera angles that I should have included in my video sequence, so I had to go back home and film some more video clips to work on tomorrow.

07/12/23 - HTML And Figma Alterations

Image
In today's lesson, we covered a more in depth overview of  the HTML coding language as a follow up from last week's lesson. We looked at html tags again, as a recap, and then went on to write our own basic html code in the notepad app. We then learnt about the different tags to change text to be bold and italicized, as well as how to highlight and sub/superscript text. After this, we learnt about character codes, and how to add links and images into our web pages. Following this, we looked into lists and tables, and finished off the work with how to comment on your code. After this, we were allowed to just work on whatever work we needed to do. For this, I was editing my Figma app, to add in a time and Wi-Fi, service, and battery icons. After I'd added these in, I had to slightly rearrange parts of my pages to all fit in better. I also added in coloured rectangle behind each sections of my app, so that it would be easier to see what pages did what at a quick glance at the f...

10/01/24 - Final Game Session

Image
In today's lesson, I was working on my literature review, as I was for most of yesterday as well after receiving feedback within my morning tutorial. I was finding new sources to reference and add into my work, so that I could discuss the work of different people over many similar topics. However I then had the issue that I was way too far over the 1500 wordcount that I was supposed to be following, so I had to go through my previous work, and cut out or re-word sections that I felt were not as necessary for the overall message that I was trying to get across. In between my writing, I would go and see how the game finalisations were coming along, as Spike was getting ready to export the final game after fixing a couple of small bugs that we had found.

08/01/24 - Presentation, App Updates And Game Run-through

Image
In today's first lesson, I was finishing off my presentation. Although I only had a couple of pages left to finish, I needed to ask some questions on how to complete these sections as I wanted to make them as accurate as possible. I then thought of another feature to add to my app, which was a premium membership subscription, so I had to create another page to represent google, as when you press the button it will open a new google page to buy a membership.  I added a few different options for the membership, so that people can feel like they have options, and even added in a student discount option so that students with a lower or no income feel like they are getting a good deal and will be more likely to buy the membership. In today's second lesson, I was continuing to work on this presentation and app page, as our game group is basically finished and I can't really contribute much else for completion. Earlier in the week Spike had told us about how the church model wasn...
