NETWORK SYSTEMS


File Managment

Overview






Technologies

I decided to set up my folder the way I have as I can clearly see which weeks I have completed and which ones I havent. On some of them I have also included what stage they are at and I find this easier to read as its laid out. I have also included folders that contain images and have named them appropriately to which week they correspond with.




Theory and practise.

Similarly I have followed the same basic set up as I did with the technologies folder except the images I have used are not needed to be in a folder and are instead in the documents like some of the technologies ones are with the exceptions of the poster and the CMYK brief.

Display Systems Part 2

They used there ratios based upon how best they looked for viewing in the cinema.

The Incredibles:

The incredible Aspect ratio which is 2.39:1 was used due to the films wide open shots and so helped emphasize key scenes where the characters interact and change there environments rather than focus mainly on the characters themselves. The problem when transferring it from film to tv and home cinema is that the film will be stretched due to it being 2:39:1. This is where letter boxing will needed to show the wide environment shots of the film and minimize changes.


Toy Story 3D:

Toy story 3D's aspect ratio is 1.85: 1, this was possibly chosen do the easier compatibility between 3D viewing and 2D viewing. This said, toy story focuses more on the length of the screen due to the film being more character focused and less environment focused. Problems that may occur during transfer from cinema to TV is that pillar boxing may crop up to to its ratio and may have to be stretched to remove the pillar boxing effects.



Toy Story 3


Segio Leones Once Upon a Time in the Wests aspect ratio is 2.35:1. As it is a smiler aspect ratio as the incredible's it will also suffer from letter boxing. On 4:3 the image will seem squished and will most likely have pillar boxing while on a 16:9 it will have letter boxing to  keep it from being stretches.


Red represents 4:3 Green represents 16:9

DISPLAY SYSTEMS Part 1



Bitmap & Vector Graphics

Bitmap Research:  The picture used here is an SD memory card from amazon. The picture itself is a Jpeg and was most likely chosen as such as it gives a detailed image of the product while also saving on memory size.


The image used is of a piece of text that is used on the apple website. The reason why it is a PNG is so that it is able to be used ontop of other pictures due to its transparent backround.


Vector research:
The reasons why these vectors  were produced as such was so that they could be scaled to any size and be able to be put on posters, canvases etc. theres no loss of quality on an image when its scaled and so nothing from the artwork is lost or deformed.










On the left is a vector, as you can see there isnt any anti-aliasing on the text making it good for logo's while on the right you can see a bitmap image. As you can see there is anti-aliasing and this makes the edges jaggy when zoomed in. this is fine for things such as text however is a poor choice for logo's.

Anti aliasing is the process of smoothing out the edges of an object and text.

Dithering is when you place two different colours next to one another  and then merge it together to suggest the apperance of a third colour

COLOUR THEORY: ADDITIVE & SUBTRACTIVE

Subtractive Colour (CMYK)

CMYK is subtractive mixing and is used in printing processes. The colours that are used are Cyan, Magenta and key which isn’t black but its as close as it can get.

Additive Colour (RGB)
RGB is additive mixing. These are used for screen displays. The colours used in RGB are Red, Green and Blue.
The differences between subtractive and addictive are how they are both mixed. Subtractive mixing is done by removing certain colours and additive mixing is accomplished by adding two or more colours

If I were to produce a music video for this song using my colour pallet then  to start off with, the blue would be used to signify the law and for characters it could be used to signify the relation of people to the law such as a police officer who wore blue. The white would be used to signify cocaine and anything related to cocaine such as a cocaine fuiled rage at his wife. The dark brown colour would be used to signify dirt both literally and metaphorically as he see’s himself as that by the end of the song. The orange would be used to signify a section of the song saying how he was caught down near mexico, this could have the terrain and surroundings all in an orange haze as well as later in the song it could mean whisky which is also mentioned and finally black would be used to signify death and the death of the wife he killed.

If I were to create a music video for stars where I come from then I would first use the light blue to signify the sky above and what the character is flying through which leads onto the white which could both represent the clouds in the light blue sky as well as the stars in the black night sky which is what the black represents. The Green would represent the lush green grasslands below in which his lover resides which finally goes to the pink which represents generic love.


I've always hated narrative songs. I hate those songs where, basically, it's an unfolding of a story.

COLOUR THEORY: COLOUR BOARDS



This colour board is from the film up and shows a wide variety of different examples of colour theory. The beginning of the board shows several old fashioned scenes that are in black and white or achromatic, however this quickly turns to many vibrant and happy colours. In some scenes the use of colour is limited to only one pallet such as only using different shades of orange or various shades of blue to signify a sombre and lonely mood.





A good example of that is this scene where the main character reflects upon how he misses his wife and would rather reside in the shadows than the brighter moonlight.




In the incredible moodboard you can see a lot more clearly the story line of the film.  Throughout the board it uses both monochromatic colours and analogous colours.  As before in the last colour board there are scenes that convey different emotions such as near the start that shows using only a grey colour pallet however unlike the last colour board this shows that its monotonous and boring instead of nostalgic




In this section of colour board it  gives various examples of different feelings and emotions that are conveyed.  In the scene were the sunset is shown it gives the feeling of heroism and justice while the next scene shows bob talking to a small child and is a severe contrast to the last image as it shows the monotonous dullness through the use of grey and bleak colours. The final image is mainly trying to convey a sense of nostalgia with the use of browns.
