Analysis:

Identify the problem:
In the following weeks I will have to investigate and research around the question: “To What
Extent Does our Health Depend on Technology?” This will have me searching different modern
technologies that affect the life of many in a positive way and have changed or saved the lives on
people in the world.Throughout the course of the next few months the entire year group (grade
11) will produce an informative video based upon, the usefulness, importance and modernity of a
certain technology and how this can be used in order to save or improve our lives under the health
aspect. This will be done during the I.T. class and it will involve the area of interaction known as
Health and Social Education.

Design Brief
The final outcome of this project, a video based upon a very useful technology for the positive
maintenance of our health, will not only be showed to members of my class, but It may also help
and inform people from all around the world about this specific technology. The unit question for
this important assignment is: To What Extent Does our Health Depend on Technology? The
dilemma, informing people about the importance of a specific technology through the creation of
a video , relates to the A.O.I, which is health and social, for various reasons. First of all this project
will enable me to let me explore in multiple ways the importance of technology in our lives, hence
I will discuss in a way how I can look after myself and the others.
Furthermore the assessment will allow me to focus on the evolution, process and products of
human creativity and their impact on life and society. It will also give me the opportunity to
appreciate and develop a sense of responsibility for my own well-being and for the physical and
social environment. This is amongst the most important points when talking about health and
social.
Another key aspect, which relates to the A.O.I. is that the project emphasizes both the importance
of researching the developments of the chosen technology and will let me examine aspects of
health such as:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Physical
Psychological
Sociological
Economic
legal

All of the above mentioned aspects are clearly linked to the A.O.I known as health and social.
Lastly I believe that this A.O.I is directly linked with the unit question of this project as I will
necessitate to develop, research and learn knowledge, about the technology, skill, how this can
and has been used in order to improve our health, attitude and values, which are important when
discussing this particular area of interaction.
Due to the creation of a video and the researched information on a technology that contribute to
our health will relate to my life for two main reasons. First of all the research on this type of
technology and the actual creation of a video which talks about this will help the society by giving
them more knowledge on how, if they have a disease, they could be cured or worsen their
situation but it could also positively affect my life as, in case of disease, I would be aware of a
technology which could potentially help me to rejuvenate or do the opposite, so I will be able to
avoid it. Because of this learning which type of technology can improve the health of us, the
human race, will be very important, as I will know, even in the near future, how the specific
technology I chose could cure me or the others. For example there might be someone which has a
tumour and he or she might not know that thanks to x-rays this can be, to a certain extent, cured
and, thanks to my video, the patient will be informed . Secondly I will learn how to create
professional and informative video. This will be very useful in future as my goal is to work in the
film industry. Knowing how to produce a video will definitely appeal to the businesses in which I’m
demanding to be hired.
This project isn’t only relating to my life but it could also positively affect the world society. Let me
explain. First of all, videos can be seen by everyone everywhere, hence the global population will
be able to be informed by my video, which will be uploaded on YouTube, from all the parts of the
world. The general public will view my film, hence hear and understand all the useful content, so
learn from it. People will manage to understand whetherhow our health largely depend on
technology. They will understand that certain technologies are positively or negatively affecting
their health. By knowing the actions that are harmful or that can help them, people will stop or
start using a specific technology in this way to help their lives. For instance, let’s take in
consideration gamma rays. This technology can be used for various factors. For instance, amongst
its properties, it can be used in order to completely take away and kill the cells which could
potentially cause a malicious cancer or, if used in too large quantity, it could actually be the cause
of a tumour. If people know this, they will thanks to my video, they will be more aware on how, in
this case, gamma rays affect, both positively and negatively, their health.
As you may see technologies involve everyone and everyone has to understand whether what
their using is harming or improving their health condition, people just need a hand, and I am here
to give it to them.
There are many key aspects that have to be taken in consideration in order to create an
outstanding piece of work. These are:
What makes a high quality, superior video?

Who is the video aimed at?
What important information do I have to mention/include?
What software’s should be used?
What format should the video be?
What is the technology I chose, how has it affected people’s health?
What is the best software to use and what tools and skills will I be using and need to learn
about?
How is my technology related to health?
How does my technology work?

Making first decision:
The first decision that I will have to make regards what the technology that I research is. In fact I
will have to create a product, video or animation, based on the technology that I have chosen. To
decide better what technology to do I will have to list them and then decide.
X-ray machine
Pacemaker
Electronic cigarettes
Sterile Room
Of all these I think that the best choice to do will be electronic cigarettes as I think that it is the
best and that has had an impact on the society that has done the most things as is not pointed to a
specific group broad range of people.

How to make a high quality, superior video:
It is essential, In order to achieve high marks during this assessment, to create a high quality,
professional visually appealing video. In order to do so, not being an expert in this field, I will have
to research what it actually takes to produce a respectable short movie. let us begin by saying that
the secret is not in using super expensive equipment but actually the lighting technique. I will have
to take time, when creating my video, in order to take the time to light whom I am filming or
myself very carefully. By doing so a 100 euro worth camera will look like a 10000 euro professional
camera, this is especially the case when the video has to go on both YouTube or Facebook, as
these have particular settings which will enhance even more the video produced.
When researching I found this amazing video which explains and shows in detail the basic
techniques for lighting someone during an interview. This can be pulled off without using
expensive equipment, you can just use your ordinary lights. In order to achieve this you should
position the lights facing towards whom you are filming. These should be xenon or LED, this due to
the fact that a white bright light will show better the lineaments once the video has been edited.
Then these should have a height of approximately 20 cm over the head of whom you are filming.
This will give a better angle and light portray to whom your filming.1
Moving on there are also seven steps which will yet again be very useful once you are creating the
video. First of all I will have to write out a script. This will help and increase the quality of the video
for various reasons. First of all by writing a script people will not talk on and on and they will seem
more natural. In addition to this the actors who are performing will now what to say, will not get
confused, and say random stuff which is not essential. So we can fundamentally say that a script
will give a more direct message to the audience and this will not get bored. 2
Secondly I will also have to find an appropriate location and wardrobe. Let us focus first on the
location. Depending on what I want to show to the audience or what atmosphere I want to create
I will have to choose a particular location which will resemble what I want to show. By doing so I
will create credibility and I will make my video even better. Now, regarding the wardrobe, thanks
to these I will set the mood of the movie by resembling the characters clothes. This is very
important as, due to the fact that I want to transmit an important message in a short video, by
using a specific wardrobe the characters In my short movie will be presented immediately. 3
Thirdly I will need to obviously grab my camera and find a place it can sit on. People hate videos in
which the director continues to move the camera due to the fact that it is not standing still. It
creates dizziness and it makes a poor video. Due to this finding a standing spot for the camera will
greatly increase the quality of the video.
Now it is time to start recording. The movie is in my hands and I should have fun, experiment, and,
when I see that things are working, properly record and shoot an actual scene which could be
implemented in my final movie. only by doing so I will understand what works and what doesn’t.
Hence this is a very important part when trying to create a professional, unique and interesting
video.4
After you finish the movie return inside. If you recorded the video with your camera, just plug it
into the computer and open up any type of video editing software. Here I will need to choose and
re-watch every take that I had taken and decided which is best. After this is done I will have to
properly edit it, using a specific software, such as Sony Vegas pro, and see if I am pleased with it.
If I will follow all of these procedures I will surely make a professional, unique and interesting
video which will could be used in order to portray whether technology is helpful for the people’s
health.5

What is the technology, when was it discovered, positive and negative effects:

The first gamma ray was discovered thanks to the radioactive process
called gamma decay; this fundamentally consists in the deterioration of
an excited nucleus Paul Villard, a brilliant French chemist and physicist,
discovered gamma radiation around 1900, while he was analysing the
radiation emitted by an element named radium. He shortly after
discovered that the radiation released by this decaying element was
amongst the most powerful rays ever produced, but did not consider naming them. In 1903,
Ernest Rutherford recognized that the waves produced by Villard’s discovery were significantly
different from previous ones, so he decided to name them “gamma rays”. 6,7
1910 a British physics called William Henry Bragg managed to demonstrate that the ray discovered
by Villard were part of the electromagnetic radiation. He was able to determine this as had shown
that gamma rays could not be deflected by any magnetic field, which is a characteristic expected
by electromagnetic radiation. In 1914, Rutherford and his co-worker Edward Andrade measured
the wavelengths of gamma rays from radium, and found that they were similar to X-rays but with
shorter wavelengths and hence with a higher frequency. He then discovered that Gamma rays can
be produced by a wide range of phenomena, both nuclear and non-nuclear.8,9
Gamma rays are the most energetic known form of electromagnetic radiation, with frequencies of
1020 Hz or higher and wavelengths of 10-12 meters. 10,11
Gamma rays can penetrate nearly all materials and are therefore difficult
to perceive. Gamma rays have mostly been detected in the activities in
space such as the Crab Nebula and the Vela Pulsar. The highest
frequency of gamma rays that have been detected is 1030Hz measured
from diffuse gamma ray emissions.12,13
Gamma radiation cause the same health risks that other high energy radiation, like X-rays, give.
Negativee health effects from gamma radiation include damage to your DNA that can eventually
bring to cancer and mutations. However, gamma rays do have a beneficial use for
medical equipment irradiation.
Unfortunately even very low dosages of gamma radiation, such as those absorbed by
people who regularly use X-ray machines in the medical field, will damage their DNA

and affect their genes, making them mutate. Many studies have proved that even amounts low as
5 centi-Grays (“a standard measurement for the amount of energy one kilogram of matter
absorbs”) will definitely damage one’s genetic material. In most cases the damage in the DNA will
lead to Cancer and chromosomes mutations. 14
Gamma rays are usually the main cause when people to suffer from traditional sickness. Precisely
known as “acute radiation syndrome”, the radiation sickness symptoms develop from 2 to 31 days,
according to the amount of rays absorbed . The main symptoms include nausea, vomiting and
general fatigue due to the body's weakened immune system.15
Even though gamma rays absorbed by your skin can provoke damage to you, the medical field
often uses gamma radiation to kill bacteria and sterilize equipment. This type of ray is very
effecting in the killing of germs. In fact the DNA damaging effect that gamma ray incite will destroy
germs, as these have much less chromosomes than human beings and animals.16
Even though the exposure to gamma rays can cause cancer, this
electromagnetic wave is used to treat certain types of tumour, as the ray kill
cancer cells too. This procedure is called gamma-knife surgery, and it
involves the usage of multiple focused beams of gamma rays on the growth,
in order to kill the cancerous cells. These beams are always aimed at
different angles, as doing so will not only concentrate the radiation on the
growth but it will also diminish the damage of the surrounding tissue.
Gamma rays are also useful in the medical field as
they can be used for diagnostic reasons in nuclear
medicine. For instance, when trying to discover the
positioning of the cancer in an animal a “radiolabeled
sugar called fludeoxyglucose emits positrons” are converted into sets of gamma rays, and will
localize the tumour. The most used gamma ray in the medical field is called “nuclear isomer
technetium-99m” which emits gamma rays in the same energy range as diagnostic X-rays.17
Food irradiation consist in a technology which helps the control in food
spoilage and the elimination of food-borne pathogens, for example
salmonella. Irradiation kills bacteria and other pathogens, that would else
make the food poisonous or spoilt. There is one fundamental difference
between pasteurization (the second method to kill bacteria on food) and
food irradiation. Normal sterilization consisted on killing pathogens with
heat, whilst irradiation relies on the energy of ionizing radiation.18

This type of nourishment disinfection works in a very simple but effective way. Packaged food
passes through a radiation chamber; this will not get in contact with radioactive metals, but will
actually pass through a radiation beam, this will make the sustenance deprive of germs.
The food irradiation process uses three types of ionizing radiation sources:
1. cobalt-60 gamma sources (this consist of gamma rays)
2. electron beam generators
3. x-ray accelerators
Cobalt-60 has several advantages:
1. up to 95% of its emitted energy is available for use
2. penetrates deeply
3. yields substantial uniformity of the dose in the food product
4. decays to non-radioactive nickel
5. considered to pose low risk to the environment.19

Thanks to the above questionnaire I have understood in a more detailed way what should be
included in my video. In fact I have interviewed a variety of different people, starting from 15 and
moving up until 60 years old. I decided to do this, as I wanted to gain information from the
possible viewers of my video, so that a short-film, which could please each single individual, would
have been created. For instance I understood that every single person wants a 1080p HD video
with also a high quality audio. In addition the possible spectators of my informative video also
request the use of costumes and that not a lot of information is used. This questionnaire can be
considered to be an investigation a test plan as I have asked people different aspects that make a
video outstanding.
What Software could be used:
In my opinion there are two software’s which can be used in order to edit the small film which will
depict whether technology helps our health or no. these are Sony Vegas Pro 12 and Ulead Video
Studio.
Let us start talking about Sony’s program first. First of all it is important to understand that this,
amongst its main characteristics, has flexibility, rapidity and feature rich. It was projected and
designed to create mainly digital video productions. Some features of this include “Expanded edit
mode” which, only by double clicking you will see the timeline in a detailed way. It also includes
user interface enhancements, such as toolbars for splitting, yellow border which highlights the
most recent clip, large blue handles on timelines which make it way easier to grab the various
interactive event modifiers and much more. Unfortunately there are two major downsides with
this program. These are its price which is of 479.95 euros plus 151.95 euros for the upgraded
version and that it is particularly difficult to use. Though once you learn how to use it, it is one of
the if not the best editing software available now.20
The second editing software, as I have previously mentioned, is Ulead Video Studio. This is a semiprofessional software clearly designed for editing, montages and production of videos. This
program is more advanced than Windows Movie Maker though less powerful than Adobe
Premiere. It is ideal for those who have to create videos but not in a super professional ay. This
program is divided into three tabs: Capture, Edit and Sharing. In the first one you get all the clips
and import them into the file very easily. In the second you obviously edit. Whilst in the last one,
thanks to special features of the program, you can directly share it to social networks, send it via
email and much more. The positive aspects of this is that:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Has many instruments and options
Nice and easy interface
Creates stop-motion and time-lapse
Supports multiple formats
Makes it easy to share video on social networks.
Cheap

There is just one negative side with this program and this is that the installation takes a lot of time,
depending on how powerful your computer and internet connection are even up to a full day.21

Interview to Giovanni Androcchia, short-film creation expert22
This is an interview done to Giovanni Androcchia, an expert in the field of short-film creation. This
has helped me even more towards the creation of the video. The source is very reliable as the
20

22
Video creation expert, Giovanni Androcchia
21
interviewed person is an expert in the field of film creation, as he has done these for over 15
years, as it is his job and passions.
Me: What makes a good video in your opinion?
It needs to have:
• Good lightning
• Script
• Decent actor
• Interesting information
Not too much information
Me: Have you got any recommendations to give me on the creation?
• Use a proper recording camera and not a phone
• Use a professional editing software, such as Sony Vegas pro
• Use, if possible, costumes
• Do various shots of each scene and choose the best one
Me: How long should this particular video be, taking into consideration all of the factors?
• In my honest opinion a video longer that 3 to 4 minutes will bore people and start to get
tedious. Remember quality over quantity.

Reliability of sources
Throughout the course of this investigation I have used a variety of resources. These include, video creation
pert thoughts, Client requests and opinions, Possible spectator points of views, YouTube videos and
Magazines. The reliability of Giovanni Androcchia, the film producer expert, can’t be questioned. He has
worked in this field for many years, hence his words are trustworthy. Regarding the clients, our she can’t be
wrong as she the one for which we are creating our video for. The possible spectators of the play also can’t
be wrong as they’re giving their opinion based on what they like and dislike. Now that we have discussed all
of the trustworthy resources let’s talk about those which aren’t as much reliable. For instance internet.
When researching on the world wide web you have to be conscious that not everything that is written on it
is true. Though there are some sites which can and are considered to be legit and unfailing. These sites are
what I have used. In addition to check if what I had found on a page was true I compared it with other
websites. This may seem a waste of time but it actually helped me towards the finding of false information.
For example I had initially wrote information found on Wikipedia, a site in which every single member of
earth can write on, but then, by matching info found on another place I discovered that it was fake. So I had
to re-write that particular section. What I have just wrote also counts for YouTube videos. The last type of
source used were Magazines. These are truthful as what is written in them is being checked before the
magazine is published.

Testing is one of the most important steps for the achievement of an outstanding video. A well-made test
plan will let you understand, hence make you improve, the short-film, created. In fact, just by looking at
what you should have included and what not you will immediately understand what you have made wrong
and right. Besides the test plan is also very useful as you can test you product against the design
specification, which basically is what you need to include in you design. On the other hand there are way
more effective ways to understand if the product created has accomplished an outstanding level.
Another way for which you can test your documentary is by doing a survey. This will give you the opinion, in
our case, of the gamma ray possible viewers. if they don’t like it they will probably not watch the entire
video and will hence not learn about the utility of Gamma rays, so we have to ask them their opinion. In
addition you can see what you have done wrong in the design specification as you may have written
something that doesn’t please any viewer. Down below is a questionnaire which I will use once the video
will be created.

  • 3. Analysis: Identify the problem: In the following weeks I will have to investigate and research around the question: “To What Extent Does our Health Depend on Technology?” This will have me searching different modern technologies that affect the life of many in a positive way and have changed or saved the lives on people in the world.Throughout the course of the next few months the entire year group (grade 11) will produce an informative video based upon, the usefulness, importance and modernity of a certain technology and how this can be used in order to save or improve our lives under the health aspect. This will be done during the I.T. class and it will involve the area of interaction known as Health and Social Education. Design Brief The final outcome of this project, a video based upon a very useful technology for the positive maintenance of our health, will not only be showed to members of my class, but It may also help and inform people from all around the world about this specific technology. The unit question for this important assignment is: To What Extent Does our Health Depend on Technology? The dilemma, informing people about the importance of a specific technology through the creation of a video , relates to the A.O.I, which is health and social, for various reasons. First of all this project will enable me to let me explore in multiple ways the importance of technology in our lives, hence I will discuss in a way how I can look after myself and the others. Furthermore the assessment will allow me to focus on the evolution, process and products of human creativity and their impact on life and society. It will also give me the opportunity to appreciate and develop a sense of responsibility for my own well-being and for the physical and social environment. This is amongst the most important points when talking about health and social. Another key aspect, which relates to the A.O.I. is that the project emphasizes both the importance of researching the developments of the chosen technology and will let me examine aspects of health such as: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Physical Psychological Sociological Economic legal All of the above mentioned aspects are clearly linked to the A.O.I known as health and social.
  • 4. Lastly I believe that this A.O.I is directly linked with the unit question of this project as I will necessitate to develop, research and learn knowledge, about the technology, skill, how this can and has been used in order to improve our health, attitude and values, which are important when discussing this particular area of interaction. Due to the creation of a video and the researched information on a technology that contribute to our health will relate to my life for two main reasons. First of all the research on this type of technology and the actual creation of a video which talks about this will help the society by giving them more knowledge on how, if they have a disease, they could be cured or worsen their situation but it could also positively affect my life as, in case of disease, I would be aware of a technology which could potentially help me to rejuvenate or do the opposite, so I will be able to avoid it. Because of this learning which type of technology can improve the health of us, the human race, will be very important, as I will know, even in the near future, how the specific technology I chose could cure me or the others. For example there might be someone which has a tumour and he or she might not know that thanks to x-rays this can be, to a certain extent, cured and, thanks to my video, the patient will be informed . Secondly I will learn how to create professional and informative video. This will be very useful in future as my goal is to work in the film industry. Knowing how to produce a video will definitely appeal to the businesses in which I’m demanding to be hired. This project isn’t only relating to my life but it could also positively affect the world society. Let me explain. First of all, videos can be seen by everyone everywhere, hence the global population will be able to be informed by my video, which will be uploaded on YouTube, from all the parts of the world. The general public will view my film, hence hear and understand all the useful content, so learn from it. People will manage to understand whetherhow our health largely depend on technology. They will understand that certain technologies are positively or negatively affecting their health. By knowing the actions that are harmful or that can help them, people will stop or start using a specific technology in this way to help their lives. For instance, let’s take in consideration gamma rays. This technology can be used for various factors. For instance, amongst its properties, it can be used in order to completely take away and kill the cells which could potentially cause a malicious cancer or, if used in too large quantity, it could actually be the cause of a tumour. If people know this, they will thanks to my video, they will be more aware on how, in this case, gamma rays affect, both positively and negatively, their health. As you may see technologies involve everyone and everyone has to understand whether what their using is harming or improving their health condition, people just need a hand, and I am here to give it to them. There are many key aspects that have to be taken in consideration in order to create an outstanding piece of work. These are: What makes a high quality, superior video? 2. What is the technology? 1.
  • 5. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Who is the video aimed at? What important information do I have to mention/include? What software’s should be used? What format should the video be? What is the technology I chose, how has it affected people’s health? What is the best software to use and what tools and skills will I be using and need to learn about? How is my technology related to health? How does my technology work? Making first decision: The first decision that I will have to make regards what the technology that I research is. In fact I will have to create a product, video or animation, based on the technology that I have chosen. To decide better what technology to do I will have to list them and then decide. X-ray machine Pacemaker Electronic cigarettes Sterile Room Of all these I think that the best choice to do will be electronic cigarettes as I think that it is the best and that has had an impact on the society that has done the most things as is not pointed to a specific group broad range of people. How to make a high quality, superior video: It is essential, In order to achieve high marks during this assessment, to create a high quality, professional visually appealing video. In order to do so, not being an expert in this field, I will have to research what it actually takes to produce a respectable short movie. let us begin by saying that the secret is not in using super expensive equipment but actually the lighting technique. I will have to take time, when creating my video, in order to take the time to light whom I am filming or myself very carefully. By doing so a 100 euro worth camera will look like a 10000 euro professional camera, this is especially the case when the video has to go on both YouTube or Facebook, as these have particular settings which will enhance even more the video produced. When researching I found this amazing video which explains and shows in detail the basic techniques for lighting someone during an interview. This can be pulled off without using expensive equipment, you can just use your ordinary lights. In order to achieve this you should position the lights facing towards whom you are filming. These should be xenon or LED, this due to
  • 6. the fact that a white bright light will show better the lineaments once the video has been edited. Then these should have a height of approximately 20 cm over the head of whom you are filming. This will give a better angle and light portray to whom your filming.1 Moving on there are also seven steps which will yet again be very useful once you are creating the video. First of all I will have to write out a script. This will help and increase the quality of the video for various reasons. First of all by writing a script people will not talk on and on and they will seem more natural. In addition to this the actors who are performing will now what to say, will not get confused, and say random stuff which is not essential. So we can fundamentally say that a script will give a more direct message to the audience and this will not get bored. 2 Secondly I will also have to find an appropriate location and wardrobe. Let us focus first on the location. Depending on what I want to show to the audience or what atmosphere I want to create I will have to choose a particular location which will resemble what I want to show. By doing so I will create credibility and I will make my video even better. Now, regarding the wardrobe, thanks to these I will set the mood of the movie by resembling the characters clothes. This is very important as, due to the fact that I want to transmit an important message in a short video, by using a specific wardrobe the characters In my short movie will be presented immediately. 3 Thirdly I will need to obviously grab my camera and find a place it can sit on. People hate videos in which the director continues to move the camera due to the fact that it is not standing still. It creates dizziness and it makes a poor video. Due to this finding a standing spot for the camera will greatly increase the quality of the video. Now it is time to start recording. The movie is in my hands and I should have fun, experiment, and, when I see that things are working, properly record and shoot an actual scene which could be implemented in my final movie. only by doing so I will understand what works and what doesn’t. Hence this is a very important part when trying to create a professional, unique and interesting video.4 After you finish the movie return inside. If you recorded the video with your camera, just plug it into the computer and open up any type of video editing software. Here I will need to choose and re-watch every take that I had taken and decided which is best. After this is done I will have to properly edit it, using a specific software, such as Sony Vegas pro, and see if I am pleased with it. If I will follow all of these procedures I will surely make a professional, unique and interesting video which will could be used in order to portray whether technology is helpful for the people’s health.5 1 http://www.procommunicator.com/video/secret-to-great-video-is-lighting/ http://vimeo.com/videoschool/101 3 http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/06/130627124542.htm 4 http://www.studentreportinglabs.com/resource/lesson-10-what-makes-good-video-report 5 http://www.storyguide.net/how-to 2
  • 7. What is the technology, when was it discovered, positive and negative effects: The first gamma ray was discovered thanks to the radioactive process called gamma decay; this fundamentally consists in the deterioration of an excited nucleus Paul Villard, a brilliant French chemist and physicist, discovered gamma radiation around 1900, while he was analysing the radiation emitted by an element named radium. He shortly after discovered that the radiation released by this decaying element was amongst the most powerful rays ever produced, but did not consider naming them. In 1903, Ernest Rutherford recognized that the waves produced by Villard’s discovery were significantly different from previous ones, so he decided to name them “gamma rays”. 6,7 1910 a British physics called William Henry Bragg managed to demonstrate that the ray discovered by Villard were part of the electromagnetic radiation. He was able to determine this as had shown that gamma rays could not be deflected by any magnetic field, which is a characteristic expected by electromagnetic radiation. In 1914, Rutherford and his co-worker Edward Andrade measured the wavelengths of gamma rays from radium, and found that they were similar to X-rays but with shorter wavelengths and hence with a higher frequency. He then discovered that Gamma rays can be produced by a wide range of phenomena, both nuclear and non-nuclear.8,9 Gamma rays are the most energetic known form of electromagnetic radiation, with frequencies of 1020 Hz or higher and wavelengths of 10-12 meters. 10,11 Gamma rays can penetrate nearly all materials and are therefore difficult to perceive. Gamma rays have mostly been detected in the activities in space such as the Crab Nebula and the Vela Pulsar. The highest frequency of gamma rays that have been detected is 1030Hz measured from diffuse gamma ray emissions.12,13 Gamma radiation cause the same health risks that other high energy radiation, like X-rays, give. Negativee health effects from gamma radiation include damage to your DNA that can eventually bring to cancer and mutations. However, gamma rays do have a beneficial use for medical equipment irradiation. Unfortunately even very low dosages of gamma radiation, such as those absorbed by people who regularly use X-ray machines in the medical field, will damage their DNA 6 http://www.epa.gov/radiation/sources/food_irrad.html#cobalt60 http://www.doctorkraken.it/11-bisturi-con-testina-intercambiabile.html 8 http://www.ehow.com/about_5554168_gamma-radiation-health-effects.html 9 http://www.epa.gov/radiation/understand/gamma.html#affecthealth 10 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_ray#Uses 11 http://www.crystalinks.com/gammarays.html 12 http://www.redorbit.com/education/reference_library/space_1/universe/2574686/gammaray_burst/ 13 http://www2.astro.psu.edu/users/nnp/grbphys.html 7
  • 8. and affect their genes, making them mutate. Many studies have proved that even amounts low as 5 centi-Grays (“a standard measurement for the amount of energy one kilogram of matter absorbs”) will definitely damage one’s genetic material. In most cases the damage in the DNA will lead to Cancer and chromosomes mutations. 14 Gamma rays are usually the main cause when people to suffer from traditional sickness. Precisely known as “acute radiation syndrome”, the radiation sickness symptoms develop from 2 to 31 days, according to the amount of rays absorbed . The main symptoms include nausea, vomiting and general fatigue due to the body's weakened immune system.15 Even though gamma rays absorbed by your skin can provoke damage to you, the medical field often uses gamma radiation to kill bacteria and sterilize equipment. This type of ray is very effecting in the killing of germs. In fact the DNA damaging effect that gamma ray incite will destroy germs, as these have much less chromosomes than human beings and animals.16 Even though the exposure to gamma rays can cause cancer, this electromagnetic wave is used to treat certain types of tumour, as the ray kill cancer cells too. This procedure is called gamma-knife surgery, and it involves the usage of multiple focused beams of gamma rays on the growth, in order to kill the cancerous cells. These beams are always aimed at different angles, as doing so will not only concentrate the radiation on the growth but it will also diminish the damage of the surrounding tissue. Gamma rays are also useful in the medical field as they can be used for diagnostic reasons in nuclear medicine. For instance, when trying to discover the positioning of the cancer in an animal a “radiolabeled sugar called fludeoxyglucose emits positrons” are converted into sets of gamma rays, and will localize the tumour. The most used gamma ray in the medical field is called “nuclear isomer technetium-99m” which emits gamma rays in the same energy range as diagnostic X-rays.17 Food irradiation consist in a technology which helps the control in food spoilage and the elimination of food-borne pathogens, for example salmonella. Irradiation kills bacteria and other pathogens, that would else make the food poisonous or spoilt. There is one fundamental difference between pasteurization (the second method to kill bacteria on food) and food irradiation. Normal sterilization consisted on killing pathogens with heat, whilst irradiation relies on the energy of ionizing radiation.18 14 http://www.crystalinks.com/gammarays.html http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/11/101110-science-space-mystery-structures-gamma-raysubbles/ 16 http://missionscience.nasa.gov/ems/12_gammarays.html 17 http://www.ljmu.ac.uk/courses/cpd/114754.htm 18 http://craigrandall.net/archives/2004/01/great-nasa-observatories/ 15

Packaged food passes through a radiation chamber; this will not get in contact with radioactive metals, but will actually pass through a radiation beam, this will make the sustenance deprive of germs. The food irradiation process uses three types of ionizing radiation sources: 1. cobalt-60 gamma sources (this consist of gamma rays) 2. electron beam generators 3. x-ray accelerators Cobalt-60 has several advantages: 1. up to 95% of its emitted energy is available for use 2. penetrates deeply 3. yields substantial uniformity of the dose in the food product 4. decays to non-radioactive nickel 5. considered to pose low risk to the environment.19 19 http://www.fnal.gov/pub/today/archive/archive_2013/today13-03-01.html

In fact I have interviewed a variety of different people, starting from 15 and moving up until 60 years old. I decided to do this, as I wanted to gain information from the possible viewers of my video, so that a short-film, which could please each single individual, would have been created. For instance I understood that every single person wants a 1080p HD video with also a high quality audio. In addition the possible spectators of my informative video also request the use of costumes and that not a lot of information is used. This questionnaire can be considered to be an investigation a test plan as I have asked people different aspects that make a video outstanding.
  • 14. What Software could be used: In my opinion there are two software’s which can be used in order to edit the small film which will depict whether technology helps our health or no. these are Sony Vegas Pro 12 and Ulead Video Studio. Let us start talking about Sony’s program first. First of all it is important to understand that this, amongst its main characteristics, has flexibility, rapidity and feature rich. It was projected and designed to create mainly digital video productions. Some features of this include “Expanded edit mode” which, only by double clicking you will see the timeline in a detailed way. It also includes user interface enhancements, such as toolbars for splitting, yellow border which highlights the most recent clip, large blue handles on timelines which make it way easier to grab the various interactive event modifiers and much more. Unfortunately there are two major downsides with this program. These are its price which is of 479.95 euros plus 151.95 euros for the upgraded version and that it is particularly difficult to use. Though once you learn how to use it, it is one of the if not the best editing software available now.20 The second editing software, as I have previously mentioned, is Ulead Video Studio. This is a semiprofessional software clearly designed for editing, montages and production of videos. This program is more advanced than Windows Movie Maker though less powerful than Adobe Premiere. It is ideal for those who have to create videos but not in a super professional ay. This program is divided into three tabs: Capture, Edit and Sharing. In the first one you get all the clips and import them into the file very easily. In the second you obviously edit. Whilst in the last one, thanks to special features of the program, you can directly share it to social networks, send it via email and much more. The positive aspects of this is that: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Has many instruments and options Nice and easy interface Creates stop-motion and time-lapse Supports multiple formats Makes it easy to share video on social networks. Cheap There is just one negative side with this program and this is that the installation takes a lot of time, depending on how powerful your computer and internet connection are even up to a full day.21 Interview to Giovanni Androcchia, short-film creation expert22 This is an interview done to Giovanni Androcchia, an expert in the field of short-film creation. This has helped me even more towards the creation of the video.

  • 15. interviewed person is an expert in the field of film creation, as he has done these for over 15 years, as it is his job and passions. Me: What makes a good video in your opinion? It needs to have: • Good lightning • Script • Decent actor • Interesting information Not too much information Me: Have you got any recommendations to give me on the creation? • Use a proper recording camera and not a phone • Use a professional editing software, such as Sony Vegas pro • Use, if possible, costumes • Do various shots of each scene and choose the best one Me: How long should this particular video be, taking into consideration all of the factors? • In my honest opinion a video longer that 3 to 4 minutes will bore people and start to get tedious. Remember quality over quantity. Reliability of sources Throughout the course of this investigation I have used a variety of resources. These include, video creation pert thoughts, Client requests and opinions, Possible spectator points of views, YouTube videos and Magazines. The reliability of Giovanni Androcchia, the film producer expert, can’t be questioned. He has worked in this field for many years, hence his words are trustworthy. Regarding the clients, our she can’t be wrong as she the one for which we are creating our video for. The possible spectators of the play also can’t be wrong as they’re giving their opinion based on what they like and dislike. Now that we have discussed all of the trustworthy resources let’s talk about those which aren’t as much reliable. For instance internet. When researching on the world wide web you have to be conscious that not everything that is written on it is true. Though there are some sites which can and are considered to be legit and unfailing. These sites are what I have used. In addition to check if what I had found on a page was true I compared it with other websites. This may seem a waste of time but it actually helped me towards the finding of false information. For example I had initially wrote information found on Wikipedia, a site in which every single member of earth can write on, but then, by matching info found on another place I discovered that it was fake. So I had

These are truthful as what is written in them is being checked before the magazine is published. Design specification Demands: It must be at least 2 minutes long It must enhance the positive effects of gamma ray It must be contain a lot of information It must be continues, never stop It must contain just text on a slide It must explain how gamma ray work It must contain at least 2 actors/characters It must be direct Text can’t be too small It should be understandable It must be an unexpected idea It must have 10 seconds information slide It must run fluently, no editing error It must contain some music Limits: It can’t be offensive It can’t contain bad language It can’t become a comedy show It can’t be too colourful It can’t violate copyright laws It can’t lose the point and start talking about something else It can’t contain sexual content It can’t have more than 20 information slides Wishes: It can be very entertaining It can be eye-catching It can be pleasant for the eye It can include various actors It can be a structured story

Does it contain a good actor? Does it music? contain Does it contain more than 20 information slides? Testing is one of the most important steps for the achievement of an outstanding video. A well-made test plan will let you understand, hence make you improve, the short-film, created. In fact, just by looking at what you should have included and what not you will immediately understand what you have made wrong and right. Besides the test plan is also very useful as you can test you product against the design specification, which basically is what you need to include in you design. On the other hand there are way more effective ways to understand if the product created has accomplished an outstanding level. Another way for which you can test your documentary is by doing a survey. This will give you the opinion, in our case, of the gamma ray possible viewers. if they don’t like it they will probably not watch the entire video and will hence not learn about the utility of Gamma rays, so we have to ask them their opinion. In addition you can see what you have done wrong in the design specification as you may have written something that doesn’t please any viewer. Down below is a questionnaire which I will use once the video will be created.
