Tutorial Four and Five: Video Production Sessions
Task One: Follow instructions and work in a small group to plan and produce and edit a 30 second short.
Task Two: Set up a U Tube account
Task Three: Follow instructions to posting your video on U Tube.
Task Four (Blog Posting): Provide a brief summary of the services offered by U Tube. Information can be drawn from the week five tutorial hand out.
YouTube is a video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips.
You tube technology displays a wide variety of user-generated video content, including movie clips, TV clips and music videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogging and short original videos.
Unregistered users can watch most videos on the site, while registered users are permitted to upload an unlimited number of videos. Some videos are available only to users of age 18 or older (e.g. videos containing potentially offensive content).
Related videos, determined by title and tags, appear onscreen to the right of a given video. In YouTube's second year, functions were added to enhance user ability to post video 'responses' and subscribe to content feeds.

Task Five (Blog Posting): Provide a brief account (1-2 paragraphs) on how the use of planning (storyboarding and scripting aided your groups short film.)
A story board is used before you began filming as a way to visually plan how your short film will be produced. A storyboard is laid out so that you can write down what is going to be in the shot but also how it’s going too look with a box that allows you to draw your shot as a starting point. Our group focused on Student life. Our shots involved areas around the polytechnic which gave a strong sense of being a student. This ranged from The local well known dairy and coffee shop to the closest flat where we focused on the mess and the electronic devices around the house. We stuck to our storyboard, but also deleted a few shots which we thought weren’t as relevant. Editing was also done to some of the videos as we had included people’s faces and bits that took along time to get to the point.

Choose a Blog Template (this can be changed later if you wish)
Provide a Blog title (this will need to incorporate your name and the course title Participation in Occupation 1)
Provide a Blog outline. This is a short statement outlining the purpose of the Blog (this information should come from the course outline and assessment guidelines for Participation in Occupation 1).
Complete your Blog profile (you need to include your age, gender, industry, occupation and location)
Up load a photo to your Blog profile
Task Three: Follow instructions to start posting content. Your first two post should be taken from the technical descriptions for tutorials one and two.
Task Four: Provide a brief summary of the services offered by Blogger (this will be your third posting. Information can be drawn from the attached hand out). In addition to this name one other Blog host.
Blog provides an individual a safe, world-wide website where it’s run by them through the website host blog.

Steal things from other peoples blogs
Change fonts and colours
Write posts and add pictures
Use videos from you tube and show photos through flickr
Task Five: Upload 5 photos from tutorial 5 onto your flickr account.
Any remaining time can be spent
· Exploring Blogs hosted by Blogger and other services (e.g.myspace)
· Setting up a personal Blog
· Organising your flickr account into groups

Tutorial Two: Digital Camera use and applications
“A new technology is rarely superior to an old one in every feature”. Briefly discuss this statement in relation to digital camera technology. What would you consider to be some of the pluses and minuses digital camera technology holds in relation to more traditional film based cameras?
Positives
The shot you have taken can been seen after its been captured
Can hold a lot more photos
Different settings, i.e. automatic, black and white, sepia, sport etc
Deletes photos automatically
Increase the size of a photo through the cameras settings.
Easier, cheaper option
Negatives
Different shutter speeds
Optical zoom a lot better than digital zoom
More quality, i.e. Lighting, zoom
List some of the ways that digital images can be stored transferred and manipulated using other communications technology.
Digital images can be
Attached to files and then emailed to someone else
Photo shopped through different programmes
Stored onto external/internal hard drives i.e. cds, memory sticks, other computers and laptops
Imported onto websites, chat rooms, blogs etc
Given the prevalence of image capturing devices, and thinking about the issues discussed in tutorial one, consider what sort of ethical issues may arise with their use.
Taking photos of others – this may result in having permission from other people who are involved in the photos before displaying on the web.
This can also be the case when e-mailing to and from.
Briefly discuss some of the ways that digital images could, or are, being used in occupational therapy practice.
Taking photos of houses for enabling funding, equipment installation, giving the OT and other services a visually description of what they environment looks like.
An OT could also take photos of persons movements when completing an activity so then they have more of an idea towards the bodies angles of elevation and posture.
Provide a brief summary of the services offered by Flickr.com
Flickr is an image and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community platform. It was one of the earliest Web 2.0 applications. In addition to being a popular Web site for users to share personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository. Its popularity has been fueled by its organization tools, which allow photos to be tagged and browsed by folksonomic means. As of November 2007, it hosts more than two billion images.

Explain what the difference is between a digital and an optical zoom
Digital zoom is a method of decreasing (narrowing) the apparent angle of view of a digital photographic or video image. Digital zoom is accomplished by cropping an image down to a centred area with the same aspect ratio as the original, and usually also interpolating the result back up to the pixel dimensions of the original. It is accomplished electronically, without any adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution is gained in the process.
Retrieved May 12, 2007 from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_zoom
A zoom lens is a mechanical assembly of lens elements with the ability to vary its focal length (and thus angle of view), as opposed to a fixed focal length (FFL) lens. They are commonly used with still, video, motion picture cameras, projectors, some binoculars, microscopes, telescopes, and other optical instruments.

Explain what is meant by the term mega pixel
Number of individual pixels that go into making each image.
One mega pixel equals to one billion pixels
Pixels contain the light in a photo
