Way Behind

We are supposed to finish shooting and editing this week but we havn't even started shooting yet. So this lesson, right now, we are going to start shooting.

THE ASSIGNMENT-------shooting

We are now in week 8 and according to our Gantt chart should be moving on to shooting.
This lesson will be spent experimenting with the camera so that we can become more familiar with it before we start our shooting later on in the week.

Australian Bureau of Statistics

A] How many people subscribed to the internet in 2007? How many of these were for business use? How many for home use?
At the end of December 2007, there were 7.10 million subscribers to the Internet in Australia.
This compromised 964,000 business subscribers and 6.14 million household subscribers.

B] Look at the access technologies heading. How many more people are using broadband since 2005? Remember that you have to add 000 to the numbers.
4136 000

Broadband and Dial-Up IMAGE

^^^Above is a hand drawn image (using paint) that illustrates how a high bandwidth connection can move more data compared to a dial up connection at a given time.

BROADBAND

What is broadband?
Broadband is the term used for any kind of fast Internet access. Broadband is designed to give a business or residential user instant Internet access 24 hours a day.

What units are used to measure bandwidth?
kbit/s and Mbit/s

How much faster is broadband than dial up?
Generally 10-20 times faster than your existing dial-up modem.

What are the speeds that broadband operates at compared to dial up?
A typical dial-up modem operates at either 28.8 kbit/s or 56 kbit/s. A broadband connection operates at between 256 kbit/s and 10 Mbit/s, depending on the service you have selected.

What are some of the advantages of using a broadband connection to download something like a video compared to dial up?
The advantage of using a broadband connection to download something like a video compared to dial up is the speed that the video will download at. Broadband can allow you to transfer large files of text or graphics at high speeds and your screen wont time out when you have to wait for it to download.

THE ASSIGNMENT "Making a Video"

I've just realised that i havent introduced the new assignment we are doing. It's called "Making a Video", and in groups we have to make a video.

The reason i havent posted on this assignment yet is because i have spent the past few weeks finding a group. (I've had a lot of trouble finding a group to be in as i was away the lesson we made groups and the limit of the number of people per group is 4.)

It is now week 7 and I am in a group with Cassandra, Kate, Kellie and Kim (as mentioned in the post below). Mr Lennon was hesitant in putting me in a group with 4 other people as 5 in a group isn't allowed but we had a 'group meeting' and we all know what we are going to do to contribute equally.

Two requirements of the assignment is to make a Gantt chart and a storyboard. I have made the Gantt chart and Kate & Cassandra are making the Storyboard. (Check the post below for the link.)

The Gantt chart for our group is below this post and it outlines the directions our group will be following/taking over the next few weeks to produce a video.

As this is week 7, we will be working on the Design, the Storyboard and the script.

Stay tuned for more posts coming up....

Here is the link to our storyboard for our "Making a Video" assignment.

Video Group

For our second assignment "Making a Video", I am in a group with:

• Kate Durnell
• Kellie Mortimer
• Kim Overton,
• Cassandra Chau

***1st Post for Video Assignment***

It's week 7 and the work is beginning to happen. Today i did the Gantt Chart for the Group so now everyone will be able to follow our time frame and what has to be done by a certain date.
