The document summarizes Daniel Rothery's use of various media tools in constructing a music video. It describes using a Canon 1200D camera to film footage, SanDisk memory cards to store the footage, and Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects software to edit the video. Specific editing techniques used in Premiere Pro include layering, color effects, and titles. After Effects was used to add special effects like melting titles and extracting lip movements frame by frame. Blogger was used to upload work updates and YouTube to share video edits. Photoshop was employed to create pop art inspired graphics for the video packaging and magazine advertisement through image repetition techniques.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

A2 Media Question 4.2
1. USE OF MEDIA IN
CONSTRUCTION OF
MUSIC VIDEO
BY DANIEL ROTHERY
2. FOOTAGE – CANNON 1200D
To take the footage for my music video and ancillary texts I used the Cannon 1200D Camera.
As you can tell from the opening monologue the camera footage is a little bit grainy, this is because I
started off by using a different camera. This was a budget camcorder that I purchased from Argos. This
then prompted me to enquire about booking out the college cameras and using them for better
quality footage. This worked and I feel that this camera created better quality footage and makes the
video a lot crisper and created more detail for the editing.
3. STORAGE – SANDISK SDHC 16GB
To store all of my footage I knew that I would have to get a big storage memory
card. I decided to go with the 16GB SanDisk because I knew that it would be a
reliable and transfer at a reasonable speed. I also decided to back my footage
up using a SanDisk Cruzer Glide 64GB, another very large storage device with
good transfer speed.
In the end I was glad I purchased these two pieces of hardware because I got a
lot of footage, some that I didn’t end up using, but without the amount of storage
they had I wouldn’t of been able to have stored/filmed the amount I did.
4. ADOBE PREMIER PRO
Adobe Premier Pro is a non linear premium video construction software by Adobe. This was the main
piece of media that I used during the construction of my video. This was a completely new software to
me as I have only ever used Final Cut Pro and Windows Movie Maker before to construct a moving
image. But I did use the help around me and the media technician at college showed me the basics
and as the more times I used it, the better I became at using the different tools and different editing
techniques.
Some of the techniques I used:
THE PAINT BUCKET TOOL - ALLOWS THE USER TO ADD A CERTAIN COLOR TO AN AREA OF THE CLIP, THIS
ALSO HAS THE LOOK
LAYERING/GHOSTING
THREE D EFFECT
RGB COLOUR EFFECT
CHROMA KEY
16 POINT KEY
4 POINT COLOUR EFFECT
7. ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS
Adobe After effects is another software by Adobe. This programme allows the user to add
special effects to certain clips or to transform them.
I used this programme a few times during the construction of my music video. The first clip I
transformed was the title screen ‘Applause’. I made that appear to drip/melt from the screen. I
did this by clicking the title tab and creating a title across the middle of the screen. I then
added a special effect called liquefy, that tool is found in the effects column. The liquefy can
then be adjusted by clicking the key frame button and then transforming the clip.
8. ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS – THE ART GALLERY
The time
consuming
thing about
this section
was resizing
the image
to fit the art
gallery
frame. This
had to be
done frame
by frame
9. ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS – EXTRACTING IMAGES
THIS WAS PROBABLY THE MOST DIFFICULT EDITING TECHNIQUE I USED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF MY
VIDEO. I HAD TO DRAW AROUND THE LIPS, USING THE PEN TOOL, FRAME BY FRAME. THIS DID END UP
BEING VERY JAGGERD ONCE ID FINISHED BUT I THEN PUT A CHECKEERED BACKGROUND TO IT AND
EDITED THE COLOURS ON FCP USING THE RGB COLOUR EFFECT. THE JAGGERED EFFECT WAS AN
EFFECT THAT HAD QUITE A GOOD LOOK AND DID FIT WITH MY THEME OF ART.
10. BLOGGER
Blogger was the main blog website that I used to upload my work, whether that be for research and planning or construction,
each piece of work went onto blogger
Sometimes there were issues with using blogger such as files not uploading properly and embedded videos/presentations not
playing correctly, but that was only on the rare occasion. Blogger was very easy to use and set up, it also allowed me to present
my work in a creative way and also kept all of my files stored neatly and in a very presentable way.
Custom background design
allowed me to create a
colourful background that
suited the style of my work this
year. I used the bright colours
because they matched the
genre of the music and also
matched the theme of my
music video and magazine
advertisment.
The links at the side show the different
months in which my work was
published. This allows easy access
when viewing, when a month is
selected it brings a selection of all the
work published in that month.
The title of my blog makes it
easier for the viewer to
understand what my blog is
about.
I have added the translate
button. It allows foreign users to
translate the blog from English
into their language. This shows
that I am trying to reach a wider
audience.
The posts are set up to allow
me to embed
YouTube/presentations and
also write text.
11. YOUTUBE
TO KEEP A TRACK ON MY PROGRESS I UPLOADED EACH EDIT ONTO YOUTUBE . EACH EDIT WAS
WHEN I HAD FINISHED A SESSION ON ADOBE PREMIER PRO. I FIRST HAD TO SAVE THE PROJECT ONTO
THE COLLEGE EDIT SUITES AND THEN EXPORT THE MEDIA AS AN MP4 FILE. AN MP4 FILE WOULD BE
PLAYABLE ON YOUTUBE IN 1080P, FULL HD. THE FULL HD IS POBABLY NEEDED TO GET THE FULL
EFFECTS OF THE BRIGHT COLOURS AND EFFECTS.
HERE IS A LINK TO THE PROGRESSION OF MY VIDEO: http://prezi.com/zb63orpd2y-
o/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy&rc=ex0share
12. ADOBE PHOTOSHOP - POPART
Photoshop was a software that I was used to using having it being the main software I
used in the first year. This year I used it as the main software for my Digipak and my
Magazine advertisement.
The main challenge I set myself for Photoshop was to create an image that was similar to
the silk screens by Andy Warhol. Because this was a new technique for me I thought that it
would be very useful if I viewed a tutorial on YouTube. This was the video that I used:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y93ou2Fcc38
This became the basis for my Digipak front cover.
14. MAGAZINE ADVERTISMENT PROGRESSION
I started off by narrowing it down
to just three images that I felt best
supported the format of a music
magazine advertisment. These are
the three images I chose:
15. MAGAZINE AD CONTINUED
THE WRITING WAS ADDED USING THE TEXT TOOL
AND THE STARS ADDED USING THE STAR SHAPE
TOOL.
