This is my final exam post, I have to answer 2 questions on communication technology, enjoy:
Where is Communication Technology headed over the next decade?
I think that Communication Technology is headed to great places over the next deacde. I think that people will still blog and communicate in various ways but I think the technology will defiently improve. I think tablets will be huge. I think that laptops will still be around. I'm wondering about paper and wether print will be as popular as it is now. It may very well be obsolete. I also think communicating through emails and facebook will be very popular.
How will you be commmunicating when you finish post secondary education or in 5 years time?
In 5 years time I will be communicating through emails, and letters and of course, the telephone. I think cellphones will adapt and change, becoming smaller and more developed touch screen capabilities. I think emails, through facebook or hotmail, will still be used, by myself especially because I hope to be travelling. I still think I'll be sending letters to people, be it postcards or 10 page long letters. I don't think I'll have changed how I communicate, from finishing post-secondary to 5 years from now, because I prefer these methods of communication.

Les Voyageurs Logo
A little while ago my class was assigned the task of designing a logo for an elementary school's new french program. Their slogan was "courage to explore" and the title was Les Voyageurs. I thought it would be cool to make the logo of old school explorers, discovering new places and such. I knew I had 3 colours to work with: blue, green and silver, and so I found an image I liked and created an ink drawing using those colours. It turned out really well and looks like this:
Slideshow Presentation
One of our projects was to create a slideshow with the pictures we've taken using the skills we've learned in this class. For my slideshow I took pictures of the art in my school. t showed how creative the students were, the art ranged from murals to paintings and it was all amazing. This is some of the art I took pictures of:
Chapter 6 Questions
I recently finished my Chapter 6 Revuew Questions, this is how they turned out:
Chapter 6 Review Questions
1. Describe how digital video editing evolved starting in the 1990's.
Digital video editing has evolved starting in the 1990's through the use of revolutionary video capture technology that were introduced in 1995, most notably was the Miro DC30 video capture board. There was also the world's first non-linear system called the MX1000 by Panasonic in 1996. There was the development of cameras using the fire wire technology and processors that jumped from 486's running at 66Mhz to Pentium IV's running at 2.4Ghz (2400Mhz) designed in 2002..
2. There are three types of editing methods. Name each of them and describe when you use each type.
The three types of editing methods are edit as you shoot, tape editing, and computer editing.
Edit as you shoot is the method of editing that requires the most planning, all of the shots, angles, and camera movements need to be planned out.
Tape editing is slowly being phased out due to digital editing but it is preferred over it when it comes to straight cuts from one shot to the other because it be quite time consuming if done on the computer.
Computer editing is the most popular type of editing, it is very affordable and even the average consumer can produce a professional looking video with their home computer.
3. What information is contained on the Edit Decision List?
The information contained on the Edit Decision List (EDL) is the raw video footage you've shot. The are many parts to it including Information Area and the “Details” Section. The Information Area has the Tape Number, the Title of the Production, the Shoot Date, and who logged the tape. The “Details” Section has the beginning (Time In) and the ending (Time Out) point for each raw footage shot, Description, Proposed Length on Master, the Order, and the Used.
4. Define Editing Style. What are the 2 types of editing styles outlined in this chapter? Give 2 characteristics for each of these styles.
Editing Style: the distinct way in which an editor makes decisions about length of cuts, which shots should follow each other, and the overall look of the video.
2 types of editing styles outlined in this chapter are editing to the beat of music and pace editing.
Editing to the beat of music is the most common style of editing as well as the easiest. It is done by uploading music into your computer and through trial and error you match up a clip to the beat.
Pace Editing is selecting an edit frequency or how fast the shot changes at a certain pace.
5. When considering pace in a video what must be considered? Give four points on how you know when to edit with a slow pace and four points for a fast pace.
When considering the pace in a video the first thing that must be considered is the speed of the music and the second is the mood of the video.
Four points on when you must edit with a slow pace are to evoke emotion, usually sadness, grief, happiness, or retrospect from the viewer, if the target audience is middle age or elderly people, the music is slow and meaningful, and if the mood is romantic, insightful, or solemn.
Four points on when you must edit with a fast pace are to evoke emotion, usually fear, anticipation, excitement, chaos, or tension from the viewer, if the target audience is young people or teenagers, if the mood is restless, uneasy, exhilarating, or passionate.

So along with alot of my art projects in this class I also answered some unit questions, here are my chapter 5 review questions:
Chapter 5 Review Questions
1. There are three stages to the Production Process. Name each of these stages and give a brief description of what is done in each.
The three stages to the Production Process are Pre-Production, Production, and Post-Production. Pre-Production is the planning stage of the production process. In the planning stage several steps are followed the first step is an idea and then the budget is determined. Once the budget is approved the idea must be translated in to a script or screen play and later a story board is designed. In the Production stage you actually videotape or collect raw footage for your video. This usually involves more people than any other part of the process, this is also the most extensive part of the process. Post Production is the final stage of the production process. It can sometimes last longer than both pre-production and production. There are three different aspects to this stage: Video and Audio Editing, Soundtrack Composing, and Marketing and Advertising.
2. Draw and label the different parts of the story board.
3. There are four hints to remember during production. Name and describe each of these hints.
The four hints to remember during production are rehearsing, set up you shots, take extra of everything and schedule, schedule, schedule! Rehearsing is when the director should go over all of the different jobs and make sure they know exactly what they’re doing. This makes sure everyone will be ready to go and the shoot will take up less time. Set up your shots is when the director makes sure the shots are all set up. All the angles are covered and lights are ready. Take extra of everything is pretty self explanatory but it is there to make sure that in case something unexpected does happen you are prepared for it. An entire shoot can be ruined because something as simple as a microphone isn’t working and to prevent this extra of everything should be packed. Schedule, schedule, schedule means that a well planned production always has a well planned schedule. So in advance of a shoot, all of the parties involved should be notified of dates, times, and what they need to bring with them.
4. Name the three aspects of Post-Production.
The three aspects of Post-Production are Video and Audio Editing, Soundtrack Composing, and Marketing and Advertising.
5. You are about to start marketing and advertising a new action movie called Total Impact. Come up with 5 creative marketing and advertising ideas to sell the movie.
5 creative marketing and advertising ideas that I came up with to sell the movie were:
- A crushed car against a billboard with the title springing from the top
- Putting up posters in various places, i.e. subways, buses, movie theaters
- A fast-paced trailer to be played before other action movies
