Task 3 (P4, M2, D1) - Unit 43

D2 - Unit 43

‘I think maybe that some of the graphics can be a little clearer, especially the waiting chairs in the waiting room at the beginning’ was the first amendment I was giving. By making this amendment, it makes the product look more professional as images are sharper and doesn’t look pixelated or messy. Also by making the chairs in the waiting room clearer, it makes it look more lifelike.
‘The page at the very beginning of the product gives the audience a glimpse of the course name, etc. I think that it could possibly stay on the screen for longer as it is a little quick and the audience may not see it before it disappears’. This was the next amendment that was suggested. To do this I changed the tempo or the frame and made it wait for 4 seconds. By doing this, it allows people to clearly see the title of the product and clearly tells them what it is about.
‘In addition, I really like the blue doors at the start, which determine Year 12 and Year 13. However, I think to let the audience acknowledge where they are, a little sign which says something like ‘Health and Social Care’ should be above the door’. I think this amendment bought an advantage to my product because it is a reminder of what they are looking in to. It also makes it look like a sign in a building so people don’t confused when they go into the main navigation page.
‘Maybe the signs which say “please take a seat” and “exit” could look a little more like they’re in a hospital. Perhaps they could be stuck on a corkboard with a pin or perhaps a silver sign with black engraved letters, so it could suit the theme of the hospital more’. This amendment made my product look more like a hospital waiting room as the sign has the same design as a sign that would be in a hospital. This doesn’t make it look just like a room and also shows a bit more navigation because of the arrows which could indicate that they need to click a chair to go to the next part of the product. It also keeps the theme of the product which makes it not lose the purpose of it.
‘Maybe the two blue doors could have a floor, perhaps a tiled floor which would reflect the theme of the hospital, so the doors would seem less like they’re floating’. This was the last amendment I was given. I think by adding a floor it made it look more realistic and not like the doors a floating like mentioned in the amendment. I think this makes it look more professional because there is more detail and makes it look as if the audience were in an actual room.

On the page that focuses on unit 7, I would make the arrows on the diagram rotate so it emphasis that it is a cycle which would make people understand the diagram.I would do this by making the arrows into a separate picture and I would animate them so they would rotate.

On the waiting room, I would have an image going one side of the room to the other that showed someone getting rushed through. This would make it seem as if the audience was still in the same setting and it emphasis the hospital theme. I would do this by using an animation which moved the picture from one side of the page to the other which would make it look like it is being taken to another part of the room.

On each of the waiting rooms, I would have some audio which would describe where they are, for example, ‘welcome to the year 12/year 13 waiting room’ and would tell them what they had to do for example, if they didn't know they needed to click a chair. This would mean that people would fully understand what was happening. Graphical images cannot be used to show this as it would just be background noise, however, small speakers could be put in the corners of the room like it would be in reality.

task 6 - evaluation of klejda's

Evaluation on Klejda’s product

After looking through the who product, it is clear that the product is fit for purpose. For example the whole thing clearly informs people about the course its self and what is expected of people chosing to study at The Kingswood School sixth form. This makes the product professional because it includes all the details that students would need and want to know if they were interested. The media used in the product is very appropriate for the purpose of it. It has pictures that relate to the course for example, it has pictures that have been done by students who take part in the course. This also gives students who want to do  this course an idea of what they will doing and the types of artwork the course includes. There are no obvious errors on the product and everything works correctly and smoothly. I feel that overall the product is professional. I think this because the same font is used throughout the product which makes it look neat. I think the main page also makes it look professional because it is spread out and placed neatly and all the frames don’t look cramped together and everything looks like it has been placed in a certain way so it doesn’t look messy.

Improvements

In the gallery to make each picture be shown for the exact same amount of time so it all runs smoothly.

·       

        In the gallery to have buttons that control the pictures like a pause, back and forward button so people can stop the pictures if they want to look at them more closely without it moving and they go also go back to the picture before if they missed it.

·         

      In as and a2, put more information about each unit to give people a better understanding of what it involves.

·      

        In the gallery, put the pictures on a loop so they don’t just stop and people can keep looking at them until they want to go to a different frame.

·         

      Make a border between the pictures and the frames so each side is all the same length away from the frame. 

Task 5 - Unit 43

Legal requirements It is important to follow design laws to avoid plagiarism. The sources of pieces of media have to be considered to make sure copyright laws are adhered to because you cannot pass something as your own if someone else has created it. In my product I created two images including The Kingswood Children’s Centre and an image that looks like a cycle. The rest of the images were taken from different websites which are all listed below.

P1 - Unit 43

Multimedia
There are many different types of multimedia including text, animation, sound, still images, video, graphics and navigation. Text is used to tell people information and can highlight what things are. It can also be used to allow people to know what is being said if they have hearing problems and cannot hear what is being said. Text is usually used to educate and inform the audience. Animation can be used on cartoons and is used to create movement in the picture which will entertain people. Sound can be used to create sound effects and can be used with text so people can hear it. It can also be used for people who are not able to see the things being shown. Still images/pictures can present certain things that you want people to see. This would help people with again hearing problems if they are not able to watch informative videos as this would tell them what is involved whereas pictures would show them. This can be used to educate people as it will show what is being involved in the course. Video can be used to guide people and show people about the department. Graphics can include logos so this will include the schools logo. Logos are usually made to inform people of the particular thing they are talking about. Graphics can also include a picture that is drawn. Navigation can be used on the tour so people can go to the bits that they want to and see what they want to see. This would help people with physical needs that may not be able to take a tour themselves.

Business Requirements
My target audience for this will be for year 11 students that will be going into the Sixth form. The audience can also be for the parents of the students wanting to attend the sixth form as it shows what is involved in the particular department. It also allows them to have a better understanding of what happens in the department and what their child will be involved with. The purpose of this is to promote the subject. It states what is involved in the A Level course and what opportunities can be provided when doing the course.

Audience
The audience of my product is students starting the A Level Health and Social Care course aged 16 and possibly their parents. The audience will mainly be girls; however there are some boys that take part in this course. People that take part in this course usually are people person’s and enjoy the aspect of promoting people’s health. My product is not going to be aimed at any particular culture or race and will be universal as the school itself is open to anyone.   


My product will be multiplatform and will be able to be viewed from any computer. It will promote the health and social care department and will provide new A Level students with an insight into the course and what is involved in it.
