Week 2: Day 2 of Work Placement at LIT
Week 2
Day 2 of Work Placement at LIT:
Started work at 9:00 am, checked email, reviewed plans for today. Following feedback from Stephen I made changes to the blurs being used for blanking out confidential information in the videos.
I adjusted blur size to fit exactly to the information to which it was being applied. I then changed the opacity, so that the viewer would know that there was information there, however its exact content would not be revealed. This also added to the aesthetic of the video.
Challenge encountered was the application of a blur to a "Zoom & Pan" animation. Normally, a feature applied to a clip applies to the entire clip, where it is then good practice to cut and split the clip into sections each having the required process. However, with "Zoom & Pan," I found that the blur applied to a clip became divided due to the animation on it (as opposed to applying it to the entire clip.) I tried out different potential solutions to this, and found that smooth transitions can be achieved by applying the "Blur" first to all the clips, and then the "Zoom & Pan" animation. This works as the "Zoom & Pan" is applied as a next layer to the "Blur."
I received information from Stephen on data and other information I requested which is great, that I will put together as part of my newsletter and final report.
Finished work at 5:30 pm. For tomorrow I will continue with the above work. We have "Moodle" training on Thursday afternoon, for the making of these e-learning videos.
