Father: Ah lovely. Let the food be served.

Daughter: So father how are the crops this season?

Father: lovely. How was your day so far?

Mum: I’ve heard the harvest has been going really badly lately. Is there something wrong with the cattle?

Father: It has been too rainy, for the past few weeks.

Mum: so the crops have been over watered have they?

Father: Yes.

Mum: my oh my what rough times we are going through. Its time like these we must be together as a family.

Father: Let us begin this afternoon with prayer.

Mum: Is there something you would like to share with us?

Daughter: Oh no mother absolutely not.

Mum: let us eat.

Father: I thank the lord for this beautiful lunch we have this day. Amen.

Daughter and Mum: amen.

Father: who is this imbecile at the door at this moment?

Daughter: No fathers don’t stress you. May I get it?

Father: Of course.

Scene 3

Frederick: Hello. I am Frederick, nice to meet you my dear.

Daughter: oh, welcome. Who are you may i ask?

Frederick: well, I am Frederick once again. Your father has called for your hand. Here are some flowers for the beautiful lady.

Daughter: Thank you.

Father: Ah Frederick, how nice of you to join us.

Frederick: Ah there’s your father. Shall we?

Daughter: Yes, after you sir.

Frederick: After you my lady…..Wait Caroline; let me get that for you.

Scene 4

Frederick: Hello Mr Brown, good afternoon.

Father: Good afternoon.

Frederick: But where is Mrs Brown today?

Father: Oh, she has stepped out to prepare your lunch.

Frederick: That’s fantastic, but Mister Brown I believe Caroline doesn’t know who I am. Is that….. true?

Father: Doesn’t she.

Daughter: Yes father, who is this young lad? I am unaware of him.

Father: His father and I have been companions since childhood. I have seen this boy grow into a handsome young man and I believe that he is more than capable for your hand in marriage. I would like this friendship to become a lawful relationship and you must accept this man as your husband. Is that understood?

Daughter: Yes father, but I have something to say. My heart belongs to another, I cannot marry him as my heart does not belong to him.

Father: Caroline you have brought shame upon this family. You must not oppose to my decision and do as I command.

Daughter: Yes father. I shall not live to see my marriage.

Frederick: I love you Caroline, how could you?

Daughter: I’m sorry Frederick, I don’t love you.

Father: Caroline, Caroline.

Frederick: Caroline, no wait. Mr Brown, I did not know she was in love.

Father: Caroline, come back here this instance.

Frederick: Why didn’t you tell me?

Father: I, I was unaw..

Frederick: You weren’t aware? How could you not be aware? As a father it is your responsibility to know.

Mother: Caroline. No, my daughter us dead and it is this man’s fault.

Frederick: Caroline is dead, but what about my food? Caroline how could you..?

Script: New Segment

Scene 1

Mum:  Caroline, dinner’s ready. C’mon.

Daughter: Alright mum.

Mum: Caroline your dad’s here.

Daughter: Whatever.

Mum: Caroline, come do the dishes for your mum please.

Daughter: No mum, do them yourself.

Mum: Now you listen to me young lady. I’ve has enough of you showing your attitude to me. You contribute absolutely nothing to our housework. I have to do everything.

Daughter: So what are you going to do?

Mum: sweetie you need to help your mum.

Daughter: why?

Mum: Because I’m your mum.

Daughter: You’re supposed to do the work you’re supposed to let the kid rest. You’re a mum.

Mum: You’re 16 year old right now young lady.

Daughter: so?

Mum: you’re supposed to contribute to doing some housework. Look at this you’re on Facebook again. Again?

Daughter: Because i want to be.

Mum: Yet again i catch you on it. And you’re going to come outside and have dinner with your family.

Daughter: Make me.

 Scene 2:

Daughter: Gosh mum, i hate you.

 Scene 3

Daughter:  Geez mum, i thought you said dinner was ready.

Mum: Well, it is I’m just setting the plates geez can’t you wait?

Daughter: Hurry up.      No i cant i have a party to go to.

Mum: You never told me about this party.

Daughter: you don’t need to know, I’m 16 mum. I can take care of myself.

Mum: You’re only 16 okay? You’re not....

Daughter: so?

Mum: You’re not old enough to make your own decisions young lady.

Daughter: 2 minutes ago, you were lecturing me about how old i was and how responsible i was because I’m 16.

Mum: well you could’ve at least had the decency to tell your mum that you’re going to a party.

Daughter: i am telling you.

Mum: what time are you coming back?

Daughter: i don’t know that’s not necessary for you to know.

Mum: yes it is.

Daughter: I’ll come back myself.

Synopsis.

Khawab was in charge for making the synopsis. So here it is:

Families and society in our 21 st Century have evolved to such an extent that we need to stop and think whether these advancements are really beneficial ? This movie commences with the protagonist Caroline having lunch with her family. The first half of the film concentrates on revealing how men back then imposed their ignorant decisions upon females who often did not have the right to go against the will of the man but instead had to accept the horrific path leading to freedom. This part of the movie reflects the extreme dangers of opposing restriction upon children. However this is juxtaposed to the second half of the film which forces the audience to realise how too much freedom in our society leads to the extremity of suffering. In this second half the protagonist Carol shorter for Caroline is a girl who is given too much freedom, far beyond capacity. This part of the film is in complete contrast as it portrays how society has changed in which the father is occupied in work, the mother in managing the home and teenagers in partying hard. The purpose of this film is to challenge the audience ranging from adults to children and make them realise the differences between the values in families now as opposed to then. Not only that but the purpose is also to communicate the dangers of freedom and restriction and how the way of essential living is to find that perfect balance.

THE STORYBOARD

I have tried to upload my powerpoint to my blog, but it is failing. i will have to transfer it onto Mr Cavill's computer.

Uploading my powerpoint storyboard.

Today i tried uploading my storyboard to SlideShare.net but its fonts and images got disturbed so i now need to try upload it on blogger :/

 and its meant to be...

final toches on EVERYTHING :D

Today I had finished the storyboard but Khawab showed us the final copy of the video on Windows Movie Maker and we found that the timimng was a bit ruined so we fixed it then i saved it as a wmv. file. We then watched the final movie and checked it was done. After watching this, i realised i missed something in the storyboard, so i added that and now it is done :)

A day without arusha...

During today's lesson, I worked with Srishti to finish the final copy of the script. this was completed about halfway through the lesson so then Srishti  and i worked to finish off the story board. Arusha wasn't here today, as she left this morning to go on holidays, so Khawab was putting finishing touches on the video and fixing up the sound effects.

Continuing on our work

Once again, today Srishti continued finalising the scripts and I continued the storyboard. After loonking at the marking criteria, i realised that the storyoard is actually meant to be quite detailed so i spent more time on the little details today. Still, Arusha and Khawab coontinued editting and showed me and Srishti before deciding something eg. a sound effect. Also, we thought that the building at the back fof the old segment looked bad, so we asked sir if there was a possible way to rid that. When we told him he said that there was a setting that we were meant to put on the camera before filming it, called blue screen (i think) in order to be able to remove parts of the background. But since we didn't, we could change that.

Working on the script, the storyboard & the editting.

Today Srishti started making a final copy of the script and i began to take images out of the video and pasted them onto our powerpoint (storyboard) as proof for our planned angles and shots [using the snipping tool]. Meanwhile, Arusha and Khawab were working on editting the video.

Commerce Incursion

Today we missed our IST lesson, because of the commerce incursion running all day.

Filming the new segment of the video.

Today is the queen's birthday holiday so we all went over to Srishti's house to film the new segemnt of the film. This time, Khawab left her camera at home so we used her iPhone4. We found that this was actually steadier than with the tripod and digital camera. Also, we didnt need many re-takes for this part as we were settled well into our characters.

Filming the old section.

Today we all went to Khawab's house to film the old segemnt of the film. After numerous failed attemts, we found atleast one satisfactory video for each scene and succeeded at last.

Planning out thenew segment of the film

Today we finished planning out the new segemnt of the film including a draft storyboard and script. The mother would be cooking in the kitchen and call her daughter 3 times, when she responds rudely. They argue then daughter is forced to come to dinner with family. Father is occcupied on phone and daughter is impatient and vulgar. Then she goes off with her boyfriend to a late night party. Afterwards, the mother is worried then finds her daughter is dead of alcohol poisoning.

Planning out the old segment

Today we planned out how we would film the old segment of the film. This icluded a draft storyboard and script. The family [ father, mother & daughter] would enter the dining room then sit at the table after the father's command. They would then pray (fathers head high up whilst daughter and mother with head low - to show respect). Then they would be interrupted by a male character who comes to ask for the daughter's hand in marriage. Then they would discuss it and the daughter reveals she is already in love and is forced to marry the boy by her father so she goes and suicides. This would all take up approximately 4 minutes.

The initiation of our proper idea :)

Today we came up with the idea of creating a contrast between live in the 19^th century to life today. The main messages we wanted to communicate to the audience are:

  

   -the role of genders changing

   -how the idea of love has changed

   -the effect technology has had on our daily lives

   -how family bonds have weakened

Gantt chart

advice from Mr Cavill

Today we tried to come up with new ideas but failed repeatedly and realised that deciding on a storyline was eating up too much time. This is when we consulted Mr Cavill for advice. We told him what our problem was and he told us that the storyline (the actual film) didn’t really matter, it was more the technical component of the film (sound effects, camera angles, shots, lighting etc.) that was more the aim of this project.

FAILURE :(

Today we continued making progress on the kidnap idea, then by the end of the lesson we lost our enthusiasm and decided we wanted a more interesting topic so we started to think about a new storyline.

11.What is meant by “generation loss”, where does it happen?

Generation loss refers to the loss of quality and potential increase of file size between subsequent copies of data. Anything that reduces the quality of the representation when copying, and would cause further reduction in quality on making a copy of the copy, can be considered a form of generation loss.

In analog systems (including systems that use digital recording but make the copy over an analog connection), generation loss is mostly due to noise and bandwidth issues in cables, amplifiers, mixers, recording equipment and anything else between the source and the destination. Poorly adjusted distribution amplifiers and mismatched impedances can make these problems even worse. Repeated conversion between analog and digital can also cause loss.

10.Describe what a codec is.

Codec is a short name for coder-decoder, the software that takes a raw data file and turns it into a compressed file. Because compressed files only contain some of the data found in the original file, the codec is the necessary “translator” that decides what data makes it in to the compressed version and what data gets discarded.
Different codecs translate in different ways, so a video file compressed using the Intel Indeo codec will be different from a file compressed using the Cinepak codec, for example. Sometimes the difference is noticeable, sometimes not, but it’s good to be aware of what codecs are best for what you’re trying to do in order to maintain the best ratio of file size to quality.

9. Why do digital video cameras use video compression

Many types of video compression exist for serving digital video over the internet and on optical disks. The file sizes of digital video used for professional editing are generally not practical for these purposes, and the video requires further compression with codecs such as the Windows Media format, MPEG2, MPEG4, Real Media, and more recently H.264. Probably the most widely used formats for delivering video over the internet are MPEG4 and Windows Media, while MPEG2 is used almost exclusively for DVDs, providing an exceptional image in minimal size but resulting in a high level of CPU consumption to decompress.

8.What is an IEEE 1394 port

IEEE 1394, also known as FireWire,originated from Apple which, like USB, allows the connection of peripherals to a computer.IEEE 1394 supports much higher bandwidth than USB, allowing you to get feed from a high-resolution video camera onto a computer without experiencing issues. Today, IEEE 1394 has become a computing standard for high-bandwidth devices

IEEE 1394 works through peer-to-peer networking, meaning that devices can connect and talk to each other without needing a computer. IEEE 1394 has the capability of plug-and-play. This means that a device connected to a computer is detected without need of a driver disk or other software.

7.Which standard do we use in Australia?

6.Explain the video standards PAL, NTSC, and SECAM, what are the main differences between them.

5. What is the colour system called RGB

RGB color space

RGB color space or RGB color system, constructs all the colors from the combination of the Red, Green and Blue colors.

The red, green and blue use 8 bits each, which have integer values from 0 to 255. This makes 256*256*256=65536 possible colors.

RGB ≡ Red, Green, Blue

Each pixel in the LCD monitor displays colors this way, by combination of red, green and blue LEDs (light emitting diodes).

When the red pixel is set to 0, the LED is turned off. When the red pixel is set to 255, the LED is turned fully on.

Any value between them sets the LED to partial light emission.

4.What is meant by resolution, how is it measured.

Resolution is Measured in Pixels: The resolution of a monitor is measured in picture elements, or "pixels" for short. Pixels are tiny dots that display on a computer monitor in one of millions of colours, shades and hues. To the viewer, the many pixels in a computer monitor combine to form a viewable picture.

Vertical Measurements: The first consideration in measuring a monitor's resolution is the number of lines displayed on the monitor from top to bottom. While a traditional television display may consist of about 480 lines, higher resolution computer monitors squeeze at least 1080 lines onto the display.

Horizontal Measurements: Each of the many lines measured in Section Two above is comprised of hundreds or thousands of tiny dots (pixels). Generally, the number of pixels contained in a line is proportional to the number of lines in the monitor's display; more lines mean more dots in each line.

Resolution is measured in Horizontal x Vertical Pixels. When a monitor's resolution is described, the description generally consists of the number of dots (pixels) contained in each line followed by the number of lines on the monitor. For example, a 1600 x 1200 display would contain 1600 pixels per line and display 1200 lines. An older monitor that displays resolutions of 640 x 480 would display 480 lines containing 640 pixels each. By this measurement, the number of dots per line can be multiplied by the number of lines to identify the total number of pixels displayed by the monitor. Using the examples above, a 1600 x1 200 monitor would display 1,920,000 individual pixels. An older monitor with a resolution of 640 x 480 would display 307,200 individual pixels. Because the individual pixels combine to display a complete picture, a higher number of pixels generally mean a clearer picture.

3.Are all videos/movies the same frame rate, explain your answer

Frame rate, or frame frequency, is the frequency (rate) at which an imaging device produces unique consecutive images called frames. The term applies equally well to computer graphics, video cameras, film cameras, and motion capture systems. Frame rate is most often expressed in frames per second (FPS), and is also expressed in progressive scan monitors as hertz (Hz).

2. What is meant by frame rate in video

The frame rate, the rate at which sequential frames are presented, varies according to the video standard in use. In North America and Japan, 30 frames per second is the broadcast standard, with 24 frame/s now common in production for high-definition video. In much of the rest of the world, 25 frame/s is standard.

In film projection, 24 frame/s is the norm, except in some special venue systems, such as IMAX, Showscan and Iwerks 70, where 30, 48 or even 60 frame/s have been used. Silent films and 8 mm amateur movies used 16 or 18 frame/s

introduction to video - 1. What are some advantages of digital video

Digital video has many advantages over analogue video tape due to its great ease of use, portability and durability. The most common usage is presentations which include training, corporate presentations, video kiosks and video libraries. Advantages of using digital video are : Enhanced learning as moving pictures with sound are more effective than stills. Footage can be updated or changed with ease. Digital video adds a whole new dimension to presentations as it can be easily incorporated into computer presentations. With network capabilities, presentations can be distributed easily. Since digital video clips are basically files, they can be integrated into many databases just like text or numeric fields for useful applications. For example, video clips of historical/educational/marketing events or trips can be integrated with more mundane information to provide a more interesting presentation.

the IDEA :D

Today I did a bit of theory then we had a group discussion about the storylines and we all shared one idea then combined it. This combination was a kidnapping. One girl has a fight with her friends at school and is walking home alone, when she gets followed home then her friends come to her rescue. This idea was really good and we all agreed to it.

What did i do today?

Today I did WAAY more theory :D

Discussing storylines

Today I multi-tasked and completed some more of my theory and discussed storylines as a group. This is when Khawab and I presented our ideas and so did srishti and Arusha. No one agreed to all of them, so we decided to come up with an original idea. Here we failed and came up with no genius ideas.

6. Create an image in paint that illustrates how a high bandwidth connection can move more data compared to a dial up connection at a given time

5. What are some of the advantages of using a broadband connection to download something like a video compared to dial up?

The benefits, features and convenience of using ADSL Broadband are enormous. Not only, can you use the phone and the Internet at the same time, but ADSL Broadband is 4 to 26 times faster than Dial-up and your computer is always connected to the Internet. Once you are using ADSL Broadband you'll be able to download music, work files, movie trailers, photos and fancy web pages in a flash. This also means the download speed will be MUCH faster.

4. What are the speeds that broadband operates at compared to dial up?

Usually, the speed is about 20 megabits per second. Now, the speed is developing towards up to even 30 megabits per second. Dial-up used to be SO slow back then, it was actually lower than one megabit per second.

3. How much faster is broadband than dial up?

The benefits, features and convenience of using ADSL Broadband are enormous. Not only, can you use the phone and the Internet at the same time, but ADSL Broadband is 4 to 26 times faster than Dial-up and your computer is always connected to the Internet. Once you are using ADSL Broadband you'll be able to download music, work files, movie trailers, photos and fancy web pages in a flash.

2. What units are used to measure bandwidth?

Bits, bytes and the like are the units of measurement that apply to computer network bandwidth.

http://www.broadbandbuddy.com.au/broadband-learning-centre/bandwidth-whats-what

1. What is broadband?

The term broadband refers to a telecommunications signal of greater bandwidth, in some sense, than another standard or usual signal (and the broader the band, the greater the capacity for traffic). Different criteria for "broad" have been applied in different contexts and at different times.

Photos

Today are the photo's for maths challenge so we need to leave class early to maeke it in time. But we are doing some research before we leave.

with khawaaab

lesson with discussion with khawab about what to make video abouut.

and more theory work...

Today I conitued on with my theory work.

Joining groups :P

Today srishti, khawab, arusha and I realised that we could actually join together to form a group of four as this is would enable greater success and more innovative ideas for our film. SO we combined groups then continued with our theory work.

Doing more theory work

Today Khawab and I continued with some of our theory work.

Audacity

Today in class i installed the Audactiy sound editor and started experimenting with it. Mr cavill had to help me a few times but now im having alot of fun ! :D i tried editing te amo first (experiment song)

c)The types of software available as portable applications.

4. Compare the quality of AM, FM and Digital radio.

Digital radio works by turning both sound and data into digital signals at transmission, and then decoding them at the other end using digital radio receivers. The result is close-to-CD-quality sound output. While AM/FM radio quality can suffer from interference caused by signals bouncing off walls, buildings, hills and other structures, digital radio receivers have built-in technology that cleans and filters transmissions, making interference practically non-existent. What's more, with data now able to be sent as part of the signal, digital radio receivers with LCD screens can also give listeners information such as song names, cover art, news, weather and more. In fact, the new DAB+ standard gives you the ability to rewind broadcasts by up to 15 minutes. Digital radio has the potential to offer better sound quality that's better than FM - and much, much better than AM - and it is interference free. Which also means you either get signal or you don't. Digital radios are also easier to tune - instead of fiddling with a dial to find the strongest frequency for a station, listeners will be able to choose a station by name from a menu, with the digital radio automatically locking on to that signal at a push of a button.

3. What unit is used to measure sampling rate?

The rate at which the samples are captured or played back, measured in Hertz (Hz), or samples per second

2. What unit is used to measure sample size?

Hertz (Hz).

Making storylines :)

Today I and Khawab made some possible storylines. I wanted some romance and Khawab wanted action. So we combined these ideas and made the life of a secret agent who is in love with his seductive enemy. Also, a violent couple (inspired from Mr & Mrs Smith) and a couple who are superheroes.

When everone was away...

Today in IST I was working on some of my theory work and completed one exercise as Khawab was absent (at MAG)

Audio sampling rate and sample size - 1. Sound moves through what medium?

Today i did some research in class on audio sampling rate and sample size. I then answered

the questions.

 

Sound travels faster in a denser medium, so sound travels most rapidly in steel. However, since sound is a longitudinal wave it is medium dependent, meaning that a medium must be present.

Gaining knowledge about the project

Today sir let us know that the groups were to be from 2 – 4 people in one group. My friends and I were discussing our groups but were unable to come to a conclusion. So one member decided to join another group whilst the remainder, put our names in a hat. This didn’t work either because we were unhappy with the results. Then Karin and Navneet decided to work together and Arusha and Srishti decided that they were already planning to make something related to a vampire show, so they combined as a pair. Leaving me and Khawab to work as partners. Now that our groups were decided, I made a new blog on my account called khawab&aishwarya for this particular project. We then made our first blog post as a pair.

first lesson

Today we decided which groups we would be in, at first we were quite puzzled and confused as to

who we would work with but then finally we reached the conclusion that we ( khawab and aishwarya ) would work together). Then we realised that this meant, we would need to overlap tasks because we needed to both perform inn the movie and needed a camera person aswell. But first we had to decide the concept of the film. So far we are thinking about having a love story with the male character being Khawab and a female character being Aishwarya.

Term 2 project

Today in IST, Mr Cavill told us that this terms project was to make a video with a topic our topic of our choice. This video would be 5 – 10 minutes in length and should include ALL group members with the consideration of having a camera person. He then told us, that we would require background knowledge before starting to film our video, so we were to start our theory work.
