The summarizes notes that the student's shooting of material was mostly controlled but some shots were shaky. It provides tips to improve framing and variety of shot sizes. Close attention was paid to background details but some shots were not relevant. The editing used some appropriate transitions but others like rectangles were not needed. Captions were only used once and not for all interviews. Simple animations aided understanding. On sound, an edit caused a jump and the presenter was hard to hear outside with voiceover picking up breathing.

Question 3
The document summarizes what was learned from an initial preliminary film task involving the production of a 30-second video. Key lessons included understanding film terminology for shot types, the importance of planning shots through storyboarding, managing equipment, crew, and filming schedules, and learning from mistakes made during production like battery issues and communication problems. The process involved filming, editing, and adapting the original shooting script over multiple weeks.
Pre preliminary presentation
The document outlines the objectives, outcomes, and steps for a filming exercise. The objectives are to apply required filming techniques and skills. Outcomes include identifying techniques in a quiz, explaining the effectiveness of an example video, and filming a short exercise using appropriate techniques. Steps include completing a quiz, peer assessing, analyzing a sample video using a rubric, filming a short scene in groups, and self-assessing performance. The goal is for students to demonstrate basic to excellent application of techniques like camera control, framing, shot variety, and matching action.
Frullo, sam cw feedback
Sam Frullo created a two-minute film opening that showed excellence in technical skills such as producing appropriate material for the target audience, using titles and sound appropriately, shooting varied footage with controlled camerawork and attention to framing and scene composition. The film comments praised the clear titles, voiceover and music choice, while noting some out of focus shots and commending the freeze frame shots, clear narrative and genre. The film opening received a score of 50 out of 60 at Level 4.
Soap opera preliminary task
The document provides instructions for a college group to watch a soap opera episode, choose an appropriate scene to act out, and create a detailed script including dialogue, stage directions, locations, camera angles, costume and prop requirements, and a shot-by-shot storyboard. Students are to find the scene's air date and time stamps to locate it within the episode.
Folksonomy
This document discusses folksonomies, which are classification systems created by users tagging online items. It notes that while tags may be imprecise, ambiguous, or personalized, evidence shows tagging vocabularies converge over time. The author studies tag distributions and finds single-use tags do not dominate. The document considers how to foster better tagging through educating users and improving systems, but recognizes that limiting tags risks losing valuable metadata and the diversity inherent in folksonomies. It concludes the best approach is remaining open-minded and retaining as much user-generated metadata as possible.
Final Presentation
The New York Times experienced a hacking incident after reporting on corruption involving the family of China's prime minister. Hackers with ties to the Chinese military gained access to Times employees' passwords and personal computers through networks at American universities. The attack was part of a growing cyberwarfare campaign by China against American media and government entities aimed at controlling information and stealing trade secrets. The FBI and IT security consultants were brought in to monitor the hackers and close system vulnerabilities once their access patterns were determined.
Digitizing orphan works
This document discusses the issue of digitizing "orphan works", which are works where the copyright holder cannot be identified or located. Digitizing these works for online access could constitute copyright infringement. While increasing access through digitization is important, archives are wary of infringement lawsuits. The document proposes that archives should be more aggressive about digitizing orphan works, while also advocating for legislation that allows digitization if reasonable efforts were made to identify the rights holder, with limited penalties if the rights holder emerges. A previous legislative attempt included these provisions but failed to pass.
Integrity
The document discusses the principle of integrity in recordkeeping. It states that integrity means records and information are authentic and reliable. It also means adhering to policies and procedures, properly training employees, and maintaining reliable systems. Integrity ensures records can be trusted for business, legal, and regulatory purposes. It is important for organizations and individuals responsible for creating and managing records to follow practices that ensure record integrity.

Hillier, jade cw feedback
The student completed their main coursework task creating a music video. The work showed proficiency in technical skills like camerawork, framing, shot sizes, and attention to details. The editing made the meaning apparent to viewers through transitions, captions, and effects. Sound was also recorded and edited appropriately with the images. Feedback noted the dancing wasn't always captured fully and needed more camera shots and edits, but it was edited well with some nice transitions and slow motion. Links between the narrative and performance needed improvement. Additional tasks included a digipak with excellent design and technical skills, and a basic poster that seemed like an afterthought. The student received a total score of 43/60, achieving a Level 3.
