This week has been information overload for me, I've been contemplating my pathway choice for months now, desperately searching for something to tilt me one way or the other... moving image, virtual environments, moving image, virtual environment, moving image, virtual environments e.c.t. The deal is that I am passionate about both, different stages of my life have been dominated by the two at different times, for example I studied A-level film at college and watched/made film throughout my childhood, but in more recent years a big chunk of my aspirations and spare time has been dreaming about being involved in animation in someway, partly influenced by my increased interaction with games and animated films/shows. It's a really tough decision, my life could go either way and I really want to make the right choice, I need to make a educated selection, so I'm trying to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages, another thing for me to recognize is that since I started Univers...

Same thing again here, we get given a whole lot of information in a short space of time, so to avoid it evaporating into thin air I'm going to recap on some interesting topics I've learnt in the past few weeks. Colour and lighting I learnt that our first understanding of light and colour began with Issac Newton, he experimented with refracted light on a prism, this created components of colour including: red, blue, orange, yellow, green and violet. From his experiments he produced a colour wheel, which has been studied and developed upon by more recent scientist to the present day. They eye perceives colour as: Reflected Light Transmitted Light A mixture of both From this I understand what we perceive as colour is a objects absorption of a part of the colour spectrum and then either reflected/transmitted or a mixture back to your eye. It's represented by vibrations, different electromagnetic spectrum vibration change the colour the eye perceives. We were aslo told about add...

So, seeing as I'm not a super-human-cyborg-robot-man I thought it wise to recap on anything significant learnt in seminars and lectures. This way when my later assignments arise, I have a handy backlog of useful information. Also when I word what I have learnt myself, It seems to sink in more than just hearing others speak about it. Well here's number one: -Image and Composition We learnt that everyday we are presented with visual information, how we make sense of the information is a key aspect to our intelligence as a society. The importance of visuals surpasses words, This quote elaborates on this perfectly "Seeing comes before words. The child looks and recognises before it can speak." - John Berger “ Ways of Seeing”. We all associate different shapes with different meaning, which were mentally created at infancy, this in effect changes how different people perceive the world. What we see depends on the way of seeing, for example we learnt about the swastika, how...
