Sony launched the original PlayStation console in 1998, which was the first to use CDs. In 2000, Microsoft entered the market with the first Xbox console. Though the original Xbox had more powerful graphics and processing, the console war between Sony and Microsoft continued with the launches of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2005. Each new generation of consoles brought improvements in graphics and features, but also had issues - the Xbox 360 earned a reputation for its "Red Ring of Death" failure. By 2013, both companies released their most powerful consoles yet, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, which supported 4K resolution and had improved hardware specifications.

P1(F) – Games Development Software
Independent game development has increased in recent years due to cheaper and more accessible technology. There are different options for funding and distributing independent games. Game development kits, known as SDKs, allow developers to create games for different consoles and platforms like Xbox, PlayStation, iPhone and Windows. However, SDKs range in price from free to thousands of dollars depending on the manufacturer. Larger publishers provide SDKs, funding, and promotion for games but may limit developer creativity.
P1D – Game Types
This document discusses different types of video game developers. First-party developers are owned by the console manufacturer and develop exclusively for that console. Forza Motorsport is provided as an example of a first-party Xbox developer. Second-party developers have exclusive agreements with a platform holder but maintain some independence, and Insomniac Games is given as an example. Third-party developers can work with multiple publishers and platforms, and Activision is described as a large, successful third-party publisher.
The Game Industry - organisations
Here are three companies that illustrate different types in the games industry:
Rockstar Games:
- Developer and publisher with main office in NYC and studios worldwide
- Employs over 2,000 people
- Earned $725 million in revenue in 2018 primarily from game sales
- Develop open world action-adventure games like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption for consoles and PC
Frontier Developments:
- Independent developer with 230 employees across offices in Cambridge, UK and Halifax, Canada
- Earned $45 million in revenue in 2018 from self-publishing and partnerships
- Produces simulation and space games across consoles, PC and mobile like Elite: Dangerous and Planet
2 some terminology
The document discusses the various institutions involved in the video game industry, including platform holders like Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo who produce the consoles; developers who create the games; publishers who fund development and distribute the games; and retailers who sell the games to consumers. It provides Crazy Taxi as an example, noting it was originally an arcade game and later released on Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, GameCube, and digitally on Xbox Live Arcade. Students are assigned to research the institutions behind Grand Theft Auto 4 for homework.
The value chain
The history of video games began in 1952 when A.S. Douglas created the first computer game, an implementation of Tic-Tac-Toe. In the following decades, early video games were developed for both home and arcade use, with the release of the Odyssey home console in 1972 and Atari's Pong arcade machine in 1973 being significant milestones. Game development involves multiple roles including designers, animators, and programmers, with first, second, and third party developers creating games for specific platforms or publishers. Publishers play a key role in financing development and marketing games. Social networking sites and media help publicize games and create hype that increases sales.

9 different modes of games development
There are different business models for games development. The "tent pole" model relies on highly profitable blockbuster games to fund riskier, more creative titles. For example, Grand Theft Auto funds Rockstar's smaller games. Alternatively, publishers like EA rely on annual sports franchises like Madden and FIFA to fund research and development. Due to high costs of AAA games, some developers use a "Hollywood model" of contracting work out. However, independent development is growing thanks to new distribution platforms, allowing small teams and individuals to create and sell games more affordably.

Jenkins – prosumer theory, 2006
Jenkins discusses the concept of "prosumer theory" where consumers are no longer just passive viewers of media but are active producers and contributors of content, such as by providing feedback or remixing and sharing content. As online platforms allow for more participation, the line between professional and amateur is blurred. While companies encourage prosumerism for their own aims, it could lead to audiences gaining more control over media than mass media companies.
Game publishers
The document summarizes two major game publishers - Sony Computer Entertainment and Microsoft Game Studios. Sony established in 1993 publishes its own games like The Last of Us as well as those developed externally. Microsoft Game Studios formed in 2002 publishes Xbox games including Halo and Minecraft in partnership with Mojang. It also allows independent developers to self-publish on Xbox One through its ID@Xbox program.
The internet done
The document discusses the history and evolution of the internet from its origins in 1965 as a way for computers to share information to the present-day World Wide Web. It describes the development of ARPANET in the late 1960s, the introduction of the World Wide Web by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991, and the creation of early web browsers like Mosaic in the 1990s. It then outlines the differences between Web 1.0, characterized by static websites, and Web 2.0, defined by user-generated and interactive content. The document concludes by predicting further changes like an "Internet of Things" and concerns about divisions exacerbated by greater internet access in the future.

The document summarizes key developments in the English language from 1600 to present day, including:
- Shakespeare wrote many influential plays in the 1600s that explored language and themes. The King James Bible was published in 1611 and helped standardize English.
- In the 1700s and 1800s, English vocabulary expanded due to trade and colonization. Johnson's dictionary was published in 1755. The 19th century saw the rise of novels, newspapers, children's books, and dialect poetry.
- The 20th century brought new technologies like film, radio, and television which influenced language usage and spread dialects more widely. Feminist movements in the 1960s-70s advocated for women's rights and
Analysing existing print adverts (newspaper) and making my own one
This document summarizes the key elements found in Channel 4 television advertisements based on an analysis of print ads. It then discusses creating a mock advertisement for a music documentary following this style. The summary includes using transparent logos, blurred images, and layering photos in Photoshop to merge images together. The document explores different text and image options before presenting a mock advertisement combining these elements to promote a fictitious documentary.
Analysing existing print adverts (newspaper) and making my own one
This document analyzes existing print advertisements for Channel 4 and discusses elements to include in creating an advertisement for the student's documentary. It notes that Channel 4 ads typically feature a transparent logo, integrated images, puns and humor. When creating a mock-up ad, the student incorporates still images from the documentary footage, layered in Photoshop to give a "dreamy" effect fitting the band's style. The ad is meant to provide more information than an early teaser and entice audiences by showing band performances.
Genre theory – david gauntlet
David Gauntlett argues that genres are changing as audiences have become producers of media through tools like Twitter. He asserts that conventional research must be supplemented by recognizing people's creativity rather than seeing them only as receivers. Examples like Shaun of the Dead and The Grand Budapest Hotel challenge genre expectations by mixing genres like horror and comedy. This underground film scene produces new media not bound by what professional producers can include, leading to less standardized genres that subvert audience expectations.
Survey monkey
The document discusses a survey conducted about music documentaries. It finds that most respondents were female, watched these documentaries, and listened to alternative rock and indie music. As such, the document recommends tailoring a music documentary to this target audience by focusing on a current band producing this genre of music. It also suggests including live footage and interviews to give viewers insight into the band members, as well as footage from different eras to appeal to those who enjoy older music. Dramatic moments and a cohesive storyline are also recommended to mimic the style of movies that respondents preferred in documentaries.
My first ancillary task analysis
This document analyzes the codes and conventions of listings magazines like Radio Times and TV Choice to inform the creation of a double page spread for a documentary. Key aspects analyzed include placement of the masthead, use of images, text, and colors. Radio Times features a large central image in low lighting making the subject look mysterious, while TV Choice uses cut-out character images on a bright background and friendly rounded fonts. Both magazines employ techniques like buzz words, prices, and captions to attract readers' attention and complement the visual elements.
Genre of my documentary
The document discusses different theories of documentary genres/modes:
1. Nichols' five modes - poetic, expository, participatory, observational, and reflexive. The poetic mode uses associations over continuity, while the expository uses voiceover to propose arguments.
2. De Bromhead adds three more modes - linear (classic storytelling), discursive (information-driven), and episodic (juxtaposed episodes building meaning).
3. The author wants their music documentary to blend the poetic and discursive modes for an emotive, factual film using past and present footage. They also cite performative and observational modes for a personal yet removed perspective.
Using in design
The document discusses the author's use of InDesign software to design their front cover. It describes how a university lecturer recommended InDesign as a more professional design tool. It then details some of the author's experiences using different features of InDesign like importing images, using various fonts to represent bands, viewing guides to align elements, changing text and underline colors, and saving specific colors as swatches to reuse.
Main featured band in my magazine
The Velvet Suns are a new band that has been together for four months. They play an indie rock style similar to The Wytches, Sonic Youth and The Velvet Underground. The band members have various interests including playing and writing music, photography, attending concerts and socializing. Their goal is to have success in the music industry and eventually play major festivals.
Manipulation of images for my contents page
The document discusses editing and manipulating four images for a contents page of a magazine. Various editing techniques are applied to the images such as spot healing brush to remove imperfections, adjusting brightness and contrast to achieve different tones and moods, and using auto tone to optimize colors. The edits aim to feature subjects clearly and fit the darker tones and "grunge" genre of the magazine.
Double page spread photo maipulation
The document describes photo editing and manipulation techniques applied to images for a double page magazine spread about a rock band. The editor used spot healing brush to remove blemishes from faces. Contrast and brightness were lowered to give images a darker, "grunge" look fitting the rock genre. Colors were adjusted to reduce unnatural red tones and bleaching from flash, making the skin and images look more natural and professional. Sharpening was used to make the lead singer's face stand out. The editing aimed to produce high quality images capturing the mood and style of the band for the magazine.
Test shoot two
The document discusses several photos taken of a model named Dan at locations around Plymouth Hoe for a potential front cover image. The photographer comments that early images had distracting backgrounds or dull lighting that made Dan look pale. Additional photos addressed these issues by changing locations to a white wall with fewer distractions, improving framing and posing. In the end, the photographer selected final images from the new location as potential front cover shots.
Test shoot one
The document discusses test photos taken for the contents page of a student magazine. Several photos are rejected due to blurry hands, unflattering lighting, backgrounds with distracting elements, or settings that don't suit the band theme. One photo of a guitarist is selected to cut out and place on a blank background for the contents page due to its fitting of the "grunge" style and potential for editing brightness.
Image manipulation (best one)
The document describes the process of editing a photo in Photoshop for a magazine mock cover design. It details using tools like the spot healing brush, Gaussian blur, and adjusting brightness/contrast to remove imperfections and achieve a "soft focus" look while still maintaining definition. Background layers were used with the Gaussian blur to selectively apply effects. Color balance, exposure, and cutting were also adjusted to create a "dark, edgy" aesthetic appropriate for a rock magazine genre. Creating a mock-up in Publisher helped experiment with overall design before the final piece.
Image manipulation
The document discusses the process of editing a photo in Photoshop for use on a mock magazine cover. Some of the editing techniques used include spot healing to remove imperfections, adjusting brightness/contrast, adding Gaussian blur, editing color balance and exposure. Creating layers and using an eraser helped apply effects selectively. Aligning the image and choosing a masthead color were also important design decisions. Creating a mock-up in Publisher helped experiment with the overall layout.
Image manipulation
The document describes the process of editing a photo in Photoshop and experimenting with layouts in Publisher to create a mock magazine cover. It details steps taken to remove imperfections from the model's face, add blur and adjust colors, brightness and contrast. Placement of images and selection of masthead color are also discussed. The purpose was to experiment with software features, get an idea of how the layout might look, and identify techniques to use or avoid for the final cover design.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
