>>In My First Month<<


Well, October is going to the end !!!Amazing!!! Time is running soooo quick. Everyday is caring something new-studies are getting more intens:
"-Today we will speak about Java script", said mr.Perkins... and I'm thinking "-Who is Java?" it was just name for me an hour ago - not anymore though -now i know! JAVAscript - Island in HTML world! LOL


Here some good website allows you to play more with Javascript:)It gives some good examples. LOL tough thing! Speaking about tough things Narrative is on my way-Here i have some serious assignments:
  • 2min linear story-sounds simple, it just another story, but then so many questions need to answer: what is the structure of the story? Classical?Hero?Conflict? How well balanced is the structure?Plot?Who is the main "hero" or maybe there isn't one? HELP!!! I've got my help - this is my team! We had a lot of thinking, had some ideas! Finally picked one (unfortunately not mine), fingers crossed we gonna embody it. Some more weeks to go..
  • Interactive Narrative project "My Place": I still haven't got good understanding about this project, but i have start do some research. Digital storytelling may be use for a wide variety of purpose ranging from business communication and presentation, to personal expression to interactive narrative. Narrative is interactive when the story contours to the user, based on his/her own personal preferences and input. Bellow is some examples of Interactive Narrative website. First one is the personal interactive narrative website. The Thirteen year-old Mouchette gives users and opportunity on each page to share their impressions of the site. http://www.mouchette.org/
    Second one is an interactive animation "A story machine". It's a comic strip with a very annoying audio. http://www.abc.net.au/arts/strange/workshop/flash.htm
    I think one of the important aspects in this project will be understanding image processing. Analyzing and manipulating images with a computer, understanding it's digital features. Last week I've done my first work with Adobe Photoshop.7 (no.3 below) at R.Patel seminar. It was very interesting play with diferent pictures by changing images resolution and adding some other effects like colour, lightening and etc. You can change the original picture beyond recognition. Fantastic!!
