Research on my project and the importance of it.

 Research

In a developing cycle, research is very important and impacts the outcome of the project greatly. Whether its technical research or research focussing on the theoretical part of things, it is always necessary for a content creator to have his work and opinion backed up by academics and successful people in that particular filed of study. This way, the creator can move forward with his project, knowing that he is creating something accurate.

There are several ways to know if a source is reliable, like checking the author. Usually, if the author is anonymous, it would be best to stay away from that source. Furthermore, it would be best to check in website of famous companies and newspapers (e.g. New York Times).

The reason you should always include a reference list on your work is to avoid being accused for plagiarising someone else's work and passing it as your own. 

For my project, technical research played a huge role on how my video would unfold. I needed to go research techniques that would help me bring my idea into life. First of all, I had to choose the software I was going to use in order to establish the methods and techniques I was going to do research into.
For my project I chose the Adobe programs Photoshop, After Effects, LightRoom and Premiere Pro.
I researched a variety of effects and techniques like "The parallax Effect", speed up in Premiere, 3D camera Tracking and many others.


The good thing about these particular programs is the fact that the work via dynamic link. This means that when I am working on an effect in After Effects, it will automatically carry any changes on Premiere Pro when I am working on that project.

Technical research will inform my work a lot, by helping me unlock new skills that will assist me reach new potentials for my final project in this module.

Reflection: I can take this time, as a year zero student, to be on top of things on my first year as a student in the university, and this kind of research has vital role into achieving this target.

About Me page on my website

  About me page: I wrote a small paragraph discussing who I am, what I am doing now and what are my intentions for the future. Also I included some information about my educational background but also my experience in my field of study. I have been experimenting with the tool bar to edit how my text is being presented to the viewer and did some adaptions to my written text. Furthermore I changed the background to the one with the New York skyline so my Welcome page and the page about me can be related as the pages to introduce and talk about me. Afterwards I added a professional picture of me taken at Bristol UK. I made sure that I chose a picture that makes me look confident in order to appeal more to my viewer that I am a student with passion and certainty. In order for the "About me" page to be relevant to the other pages I changed the background and changed the font of the letters. The background is a video footage that I took last year on a Christmas market at the centre...

  As a session practical exercise we had to brainstorm 20 ideas in 20 minutes It is important that when an artist is generating ideas, he should present a variety of topics  I finished the 20 ideas afterwards and here are the final ideas. Lets go through them together: All the ideas from number one to number seven are Covid-19 related. All this ideas are various things that I think could make a compelling video idea.The other ideas are fun little experiments I want to make. For example ideas like the one with the animated character in real life and the called "Small things that we all do and nobody admits" are some fun concepts for small videos.In this mix there are also some topics that I think can be discussed on a 5 minute long video filled with graphs and examples.This kind of ideas were " The false idea about video games", "Why animals do not have wheels?", "The electricity War" and "The evolution of species".
