Website update 30th march

Today I have gone back to my website since I had some time and I decided to add some music for some of my pages. To do this I went onto Youtube to find some music. After finding 3 songs that I liked I downloaded them onto the computer then went onto wix and clicked on add music. I found where the music was and I put it onto Wix. I uploaded the music then I had to decide which song would go onto what page. I did the home page, the about page and the last creative media page. I also added a animation for when the website loads. I think that my website is now done and I am pleased with it.

website update 16th march

Today I have added more pictures to my website for the photography and creative media pages. I have added pictures of my work that I have done. I added a picture of my first poster I did for my freak or unique project. I also added a picture of when I was learning the tools of photoshop in one of our first lessons in creative media. For photography I added some pictures of my test shots for the freak or unique project when we was playing with the lighting for the pictures.

Evaluation

For this assignment I have created a website for all my work I have done so far on this course. I made the website on wix and first I looked at all the different templates of the background for my website to see which one I think looks best. I choose 3 templates I liked the best and put them on blogger and wrote about them. I choose a blue background with moving images because I think it looked different to all the others and it was the one that stood out the most to me.

For the first page I came up with a name for my website and I put Filming and Photography underneath because I wanted to show off what it was that I do. On the second page I did the about page. I detailed what it was I did in my spare time. I posted some pictures of my youtube channel and a poster I had created for a video. I also wrote that I was a gamer and I detailed how time consuming it was to do youtube. Then I created a contact page and I posted a picture of some of my earlier work I did for the freak or unique project. I also listed my email address and let people who view my website write me a comment.

The next page I made was the film page. I posted a video from my youtube channel of a trailer I made for a game. I also posted a short film I made while at college. I  made sure that the link worked and they can watch the youtube video from my website. I wrote about what these videos were and I said that one was created at home and one was created at college.

The next page was my photography page. I posted some pictures of my work from college. I posted my film noir poster and a test shot I did for the first project. I wanted to add more pictures but there was none that I thought looked good. The poster was my final image for the film noir project and the second picture was when I was testing the lighting in photoshop.

For the creative design page I added some pictures of my game I created and some pictures that I did earlier in the year, also the final poster I made for freak or unique. I wrote about how I have been playing around with images and making them merge together. I did this with the lion picture I had added. I made a lion with three eyes and I also made a poster for the shampoo I made a short advert for in the filming work. The game I made was the last project we did for creative design I added the game level and also showed off the villain and the main character I had created.

To add the images and videos I clicked on the toolbar on the side of the screen. I click on add and then add image. It will come up with a screen where all the images I upload would be there. Once I had found the images I needed I would click on add to page and then I would just need to move it and resize the image to how I want it to be. I would do the same to add a video. For the background I would click on the first option on the tool bar. This would be the background tool. That is where I could create the background how I wanted it. That is where I got my template from. There is a lot of options on there. You can choose to have it moving or just to have it as a image. I choose to have a moving image because I thought it looked better and more eye catching.

I added some music on 3 of the pages for my website. I got the music from youtube and I downloaded it to the computer and uploaded it to the website. I only did 3 pages and I made sure the sound wasn't too loud.

In this project I learned how to create a website in wix. I learned a lot of the tools in wix and how to add a template for a background. I have also learned how to add videos and picures to a website. The benefits for using interactive media for a portfolio is that it will never be lost. The only problems with it is that I would have to watermark all of my work or someone else could easlily take it and upload it saying it was their own.

Overall I think that the project went well and I was proud of it when it was finished. The images looked good and the text was appropriate for what they was describing. Things I think I could improve on is writing more text. Some of the pages like the photography and the filming page did not have much writing on them. I feel like I could've wrote more about how I created this.
