Introduction to Research 11/9/23
The aim of today's session was to find out different methods of attaining research data such as primary/secondary and qualitative/quantitative data.
The first thing we learned was the different methods of research. Primary research means to attain this information on your own/collect data through your own methods. Secondary data is when you attain the data from other sources e.g. the news, other people's surveys, etc. Referencing is also another method of secondary research as you use the subject in an existing photo to mark down to do your own version of it
The next type of research methods are qualitative and quantitative data, An example of this is an interview, and an interview can dive deep into someone's individual point of view in a detailed fashion. Qualitative data is when you attain the data of something through its quality/attributes rather than the number/quantity. Quantitative however is the opposite of qualitative where the amount/number is the data gained for research rather than the quality, An example of quantitative data is a survey as it takes in small sets of data from the majority of people.
A bibliography in research is added at the end of the presentation in which you add Harvard references of any source you used to gain information from.
Similar to the bibliography an appendix follows the same principle where you add research in a slide/area towards the end of the presentation however, the thing that separates an appendix from an bibliography is that the appendix is where primary research is inserted, this can be surveys, personal findings, interviews, etc.
Using Harvard references in your work is important as you show its information you've learnt off of other sources and not your work.

Introduction to cinematography 22/9/23
In today's session we learnt about different types of camera angles used in film and animation to bring more out of scenes to give them more effect and meaning. The learning objectives for today's lesson are: "To develop your understanding of how to structure your images in a way that helps storytelling" and also "To reinforce your understanding of the visual planning required to creative effective animation.
The different types of shots learnt were:
Extreme close up- focus on a specific detail.
Long shot- A scenic shot to show where the character is at the current scene/moment without putting them in focus
Medium long shot- Similar to long shot but puts in an element of the character at the same time as keeping the environment mainly prominent.
Mid shot- Shows half the body whilst mainly capturing the background/ environment character is looking at.
Close up- Taking up most of the focus.
Dutch tilt- A close up but a tilt, sense of uneasiness.
Medium close up- Still a lot of focus on a single subject.
Big close up- Full face shot, detail isn't focused but you can see their full face and some of their neck.
After taking every shot into account I went to create my own shots by drawing them for practice of my understanding.
