Research Paper

For the research paper concerning our final project, i have come up with a few ideas, some fo my own, and some of simon pope. I was very confused because I din't know how to do it, since for me there isn't much to do except make the film. Now I have realized that there are many things that i hadn't payed enough attention to. Things like looking at the iadea, analysing it, or describing it, or other things like trying to research for people that have allready done anything similar or finding out if there is something writen about it. There is also a technological part that I should consider, for instance, how am I going to do in the post production to make everything as interactive as I intend.
I have to organize a calendar to administrate the time i have until the 22nd of May that is when it has to be given in. I'll star doing some research on the Internet Movie Database and in the New Port Film School, and I'll find out something of Peter Greenaway.

competition brief - ideas

the competition brief that me and rob are going to do is the orange one.
We started with a questionary that we asked to all our friends, what includes people of many countries. these were the the questions:
choose 5 words from the following list. (thes words come in the book)
if you had to do a representation of a certain concept or idea, would it be:
- cartoon like
- realistic
- combination
how would you do it?
- using a main character for the representations
- using real and different people
- abstract
what group of age would you like it to go to?
- 35
+ 35
. all ages
please write in a few lines why did you choose these answers

after doing the test to about 20 people, the words that most people chose were:
fast, evenings and weekends, bigger networks, charity an environment.
also most of the people chose realistic and main character in the questions 2 and 3, amd nearly every one went fir the young group.

after taking all the answers, we thought about making a story with all the pictures, but the idea, alltough sounded great,wasn't very possible in our opinion due to the diversity of the concepts, so now we possibly go just for one of them and do it in different ways, lets see how it goes

CCS VOIP

VOIP

BY IAN DIEZ

VOIP or Voice Over Internet Protocol is the routing of voice conversations over the internet or through any other IP-based network. VoIP can facilitate tasks that may be more difficult to achieve using traditional networks:
- incoming phone calls can be automatically routed to your VoIP phone, regardless of where you are connected to the network.
- Call centre agents using VoIP phones can work from anywhere with sufficiently fast and stable internet connection.
- VoIP phones can integrate with other services available over the internet, including video conversation, audio conferencing, managing address books and passing information about whether others are available online to interested parties.
- But unfortunately, one of the few tasks it cannot perform is the sending of faxes, due to the software and networking restrains in most home systems. An effort is underway to remedy this by defining an alternate IP-based solution for delivering Fax-over-IP, namely the T.38 protocol. An other solution could be treating the fax system as a message switching system that does not need real time data transmission – such as sending a fax as an email attachment.

Another drawback of VoIP is the reliance upon another separate service; the internet connection. But they can also utilize regular phone lines and business grade connections like T1 for voice service.

Many VoIP users still maintain a traditional (business line) which allows them to dial emergency numbers and send faxes.

The nature of IP makes it difficult to geographically locate network users. Emergency Calls, therefore, cannot easily be routed to a nearby call centre, and are impossible on some VoIP systems. Sometimes, VoIP calls can rout emergency calls to non-emergency phoneline at the intended department. In the event that the caller is unable to give an address, emergency services may be unable to locate them in any other way. Following the lead of mobile phone operators, several VoIP carriers are already implementing a technical work-around.

But one of the most interesting features that VoIP technology will be developing is the use of mobile phones in the following cases:
- public or community wireless networkshave similar geographic covarege to cellular networks (there by enabling mobile VoIP phones, so called Wi-Fi phones), or
- VoIP is implemented over legacy 3G networks

However, “dual mode” handsets, which allow for the seemless handover between a cellular and a Wi-Fi network, are expected to help VoIP become more popular.

CCS PARTICIPATION

PARTICIPATION

A social network service is social software specifically focused on the building and verifying online social networks for whatever purpose. Many social networking services are also blog hosting services. As of 2005 there are over three hundred known social networking web sites. MySpace and Facebook are some of them.

In general, these social networks, allow users to create a profile for themselves. Users can upload a picture of them selves and can often be “friends” with other users. Social networks usually have privacy controls that allow the user to choose who can view their profile or contact them etc. some major social networks have additional features, such as the ability to create groups that share common interests or affiliations, upload videos, and hold discussions in forums.

Concerning to privacy issues, there has been concerns about users giving out to much information and the threat of sexual predators. However, large sites, such as MySpace, often work with law enforcement to prevent such incidents.


MySpace is a social networking website offering an interactive, user-submited network of friends, personal profiles, blogs, groups, photos, music and videos. MySpace also features an internet, e-mail system. It si headquartered in Santa Monica, California, USA, while its partner headquartered in New York City. According to Alexa internet, it is currently, the wordl’s sixth most popular website in any language. This service has gradually gained more popularity than similar websites to achieve nearly 80 % of the visits to online social networking websites. The company employs 300 staff and its owned by News Corporation. With the 100 millionth account being created on August 9th of 2006, the site reportedly attracts new registrations at a rate of 230.000 per day, being founded in July 2003 by Tom Anderson, the current president and CEO, Chris DeWolfe, and a small team of programmers. It was partially owned by Intermix Media, which was bought in 2005 for $580 million by Rupert’s Murdock News Corporation (the parent company for Fox Broadcasting and other media enterprises). Of this amount, approx. $327 million has been attributed to the value of MySpace according to the financial advisor fairness opinion.


YouTube is a popular free sharing video website which lets users upload, view, and share video clips. Founded in February 2005 by three former employees of PayPal, the Bruno-based service utilizes Adobe Flash technology to display video. The wide variety of the site content includes TV and movie and music videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogging and short original videos. Currently staffed by 67 employees, the company was named TIME magazine’s “Invention of the Year” for 2006. In October 2006, Google Inc. announce that it had reached the deal to adquiere the company for $1.65 billion in Google´s Stock. The deal closed on 13 November 2006.

CCS LOCATED MEDIA

LOCATED MEDIA

Location based media (LBM) delivers multimedia directly to the user of a mobile device dependent upon their location. The media can be delivered to, or triggered within any portable wireless devicet that is GPS enabled and has the capacity to display audiovisual content. The term was jointly coined at the 2004 Consumer Electronics Show by Tom Brammar, the then chief Executive of Node, and Martin Hill, an original founder of Sybian, and wireless pioneer.

Media content is managed and organized externally of the divice of a standard desktop or laptop. The device then downloads this formatted content with GPS coordinated tiggers applied to each media sequence. As the location-aware device enters the selected area, satellites trigger the assigned media, designed to be of optimal relevance to the user and surroundings.

Location based media allows for the enhancement of any given environment offering explanation, analysis and detailed commentary on what the user is looking at through a combination of video, audio, imaged and text. The location-aware device can deliver interpretation of cities, parklands, heritage sites, supporting events of any other environment where located based media is required.

The content production and pre-production are integral to the overall experience that is created and must have been performed with ultimate consideration of the location and the users position within that location. The media offers a depth to the environment beyond that which is immediately apparent, allowing revelations about background, history and current topical feeds.

Live updates to the Portable Media Players PMP content mean that attendance at stopping events can converge with broadcast media coverage.
