Yesterday, 24/11, my entire media class took a trip to central enfield's city learning centre were our intention was to learn about how to create a website for our soap. Before this trip, we had to research in depth what other tv soap opera's consider on their website; the kind of things posted by the soaps that attracts the audience to revisit the website and also what makes it successful. My group and I decided to research into different websites; this decision was made because we strongly thought that if we get information from different sources, it would help boost our knowledge about soap websites and we could use some of the ideas from their websites ( not coping them but mixing the kind of elements published on the websites and giving it a twist with our own ideas) This process was quite successful as we all know what conventional elements are published on the websites of soap operas. But on the other hand, we could have improved this task well by discussing the results that we got after we analysed the websites.
The visit to the CLC thought me alot personally , it gave me the opportunity to attain the ability to use "Iweb" (application for creating a website). I also learnt about the features of "Iweb" and when and how to use it. Hopefully, this technique that I have learnt will benefit me and my group by making use more creative.
In addition, we was also thought how to create a flash game using images of characters in our soap; and many other games. This could perhaps be an option that we could use on our website. Me and my group also the chance to create a "draft" of our website; which was done in the process of learning how to use the software. This process was successful as we experimented with various functions of the software and finally concluded with a great outcome.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that the trip to the CLC help me and my group alot; it helped us boost our confidence on how to use the software, how to create the things that we wanted to use such as hyperlinks, import images form the internet to iphotos then iweb. Initially I found this procedure very difficult as I had never used Imac.
But the trip helped me acquire the basic skills that I need to help make my project successful.
Hey Barbara
ReplyDeleteYeah i used the Iweb as well but it was quite hard i have to admit :P
Apart from that ,we do need to make sure that we finish editing or putting images up on our website. We also need to do our filming scene faster so that we can use images from that to sustain a more realistic website.
Yana :)
Okay but in order to start a thorough editing, we need to get all our scenes completed so i think we should slow down a lil tiny bit :)
