For my personal research project, I will be looking into Online Television and the ways in which it has made an impact on our daily lives. I will gain data from TV companies, for example ITV, BBC, Channel 4 and Sky and use it to compare the change in their popularity in comparison to Online TV. I will also use the data figures for Online TV to examine how it has changed since it first was introduced.
I beleive with this topic, I can lead onto other artefacts that discuss online piracy and how some programmes can be viewed online before broadcast, if shown in other countries i.e. America, and also all the other issues relating to online piracy.
I hope the TV companies will reply back and I can get hold of some sort of statistics. This project is the one I am a bit worried about.

Client Project
After having a meeting with Deborah, I know know fully what my client project will be about (as Deborah is my client). I will be, along with Abdul Seedat, be designing an App for the iphone to be used in the Lace Market area of the city centre in Nottingham. It will be an App designed as an interactive tour, informing people of what places of interest there are to visit. There will be three profiles for which this will be done; a student profile, a business man's profile, and a historical profile. We have the job of making the video content for this. The project seems very interesting, but at the same time very hard as there will be a lot of work and time needed to do it and as Deborah has already mentioned a lot of research will be needed.
The App will be an interactive tour for a certain pathway in the Lace Market area, which will start on the street where the Broadway Cinema is and will go along that. We will need to do a lot of research for this i.e. the History of the Lace Market and the way is which to make an App, and the coding etc. We will also look at existing App like this one and see what things they offer, and analyse these to see how the users experience of using the App can be made better.

Simulated Project
Back to uni, and we have completed our Simulated project. I haven't blogged these past few weeks, but i'll run through how the project went. Our simulated project was about digital piracy, and my idea for the simulated project was to make a 40-second advert informing people of why digital piracy is wrong. It was to include 5 actors doing vox pops, showing something or share an idea they have created themselves, showing the sense of creativity and ownership.
Each of the characters were from a specific creative background. They were an App designer, a software developer, a games designer, a film director, and a music producer. I chose a diverse range of backgrounds to show how digital piracy can affect all kinds of different people working in the creative industry and how much of a mass effect it can have on the industry as a whole. A statistic is shown after each actor of how it has affected that particular industry.
So, that was my idea. I got hold of 5 actors to take part in the advert. I had a problem finding a location, as I wanted a white back-drop behind my actors. However, eventually I got hold of a photography studio and shot the film there. The filming lasted about 2 and a half hours and went well.
In editing, I came across a problem, I realised I shot in DVCAM! After hours of trying to get the footage to be played in Adobe Premiere, and Owen (the technician) who also spend an hour trying to fix the problem. However, I had to capture my footage using the Matrox, which however tied me down to only using the universities computer. I did get the edit done, however I now know for next time to check and RE-CHECK what format I am filming in and this will hopefully save me a lot of time.
