They give learners the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to prepare for employment in a specific occupational area. The qualifications also provide career development opportunities for those already in work. The qualifications may be offered as full-time or part-time courses in schools or colleges. Training centres and employers may also offer these qualifications. Sizes of Specialist qualifications For all regulated qualifications, Pearson specify a total number of hours that it is estimated learners will require to complete and show achievement for the qualification – this is the Total Qualification Time (TQT). The TQT value indicates the size of a qualification. Within the TQT, Pearson identifies the number of Guided Learning Hours (GLH) that we estimate a centre delivering the qualification might provide. Guided learning means activities, such as lessons, tutorials, online instruction, supervised study and giving feedback on performance, that directly involve tutors and assessors in teaching, supervising and invigilating learners. Guided learning includes the time required for learners to complete external assessment under examination or supervised conditions. In addition to guided learning, other required learning directed by tutors or assessors will include private study, preparation for assessment and undertaking assessment when not under supervision, such as preparatory reading, revision and independent research. As well as TQT and GLH, qualifications can also have a credit value – equal to one tenth of TQT, rounded to the nearest whole number. TQT and credit values are assigned after consultation with users of the qualifications. BTEC Specialist qualifications are generally available in the following sizes: Award – a qualification with a TQT value of 120 or less (equivalent to a range of 1–12 credits) Certificate – a qualification with a TQT value in the range of 121–369 (equivalent to a range of 13–36 credits) Diploma – a qualification with a TQT value of 370 or more (equivalent to 37 credits and above). Specification – Pearson BTEC Level 3 Certificate in Creative and Digital Media 1 Issue 3 – September 2017 © Pearson Education Limited 2017 Qualification title covered by this specification This specification contains the information you require to offer the following qualification: Qualification title Qualification Number (QN) Pearson BTEC Level 3 Certificate in Creative and Digital Media 500/9772/6 Qualifications eligible and funded for post-16-year-olds can be found on the funding Hub. The Skills Funding Agency also publishes a funding catalogue that lists the qualifications available for 19+ funding. You should use the Qualification Number (QN) when you wish to seek public funding for your learners. Each unit within a qualification will also have a unique reference number, which is listed in this specification. The qualification title and unit reference numbers will appear on the learners’ final certification documentation.

    Non Photorealistic Rendering BY DMYTRO TKACHUK COMPUTER GRAPHICS SEMINAR Non photorealistic rendering Non photorealistic rendering (NPR) is a process by which computer engineers try to animate and represent items inspired by paintings, drawings, cartoons and other sources that do not feature photorealism. Usage of NPR 1. Entertainment • Cartoons • Movies • Games • Illustrations 2. Technical illustrations • Architectural drawings • Assemblies • Exploded view diagrams 3. Smart depiction systems Cel Shading Cel Shading, also called toon shading, is a 3D technique based on a specific shading method, which recreates the look of traditional 2D animation cels with the use of flat colours and used for shading 3D objects in a unrealistic way. But it’s not only referred to a shading method, nowadays Cel Shading is known also and more generally as an artistic style/method of making 3D graphics seem cartoonish with the use of specifically colored textures, and also using outlines to simulate drawing lines. Cel shading Cel shading: how it works Shading Cel shading effect is generated from 3D object’s normals. Each normal has it’s own angle, which is determined between its direction and the lighting point. It calculates the respective cosine and applies a specific tone to that faces/area. Consequently, when the angle between normal and light is zero, the tone will be brighter. When the angle increases the tone will become darker. Cel shading: how it works Shading The different tones are flat and change without gradients, simulating cell painting style. Depending on the style, the number of tones can be increased or decreased. Cel shading: how it works Outline Sometimes to achieve cartoon look, computer graphics developers include black outlines simulating drawing strokes.

  • ECSE 4961/6961: Computer Vision and Graphics for Digital Arts Dvds for the Week of September 24–28
    ECSE 4961/6961: Computer Vision and Graphics for Digital Arts DVDs for the week of September 24–28 What Dreams May Come (Sept 24) Start with Chapter 6 (“Painting Your Own Surroundings”) about 24 minutes in. The setting is that the Robin Williams character has died and finds out that heaven, for him, is to be inside one of his wife’s paintings. There are some interesting effects reminiscent (although probably not technically related to) Hertzmann’s paper on painterly rendering. At about 25:30 there’s a shot with the camera pushing forward through flowers and plants. At about 28:00 there are some effects of sun-dappled water that capture a painterly feel. At 29:00 there’s a short clip of a bird flying through an expressionistic sky. You can stop watching around 32:00 (when the characters enter the house). Next, go to the extras and select the featurette. Skip forward to about 11:00 through 13:30 when the director and effects artists discuss how the painterly effect was achieved, and show some raw footage and steps to achieving the final effect. Discuss similarities and differences to Hertzmann, extensions and inspirations, technical strengths and weaknesses, etc. A Scanner Darkly (Sept 24) The whole movie is probably worth watching, but in the interest of keeping the video part to 15-20 minutes, I suggest going directly to the extras section of the disc. Watch the Theatrical Trailer, which gives a pretty good overview of the animation style in different scenes. Then watch the extra titled “The Weight of the Line: Animation Tales”.

    A Book History Study of Michael Radford’s Filmic Production William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS of RHODES UNIVERSITY by BRYONY ROSE HUMPHRIES GREEN March 2008 ABSTRACT Falling within the ambit of the Department of English Literature but with interdisciplinary scope and method, the research undertaken in this thesis examines Michael Radford’s 2004 film production William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice using the Book History approach to textual study. Previously applied almost exclusively to the study of books, Book History examines the text in terms of both its medium and its content, bringing together bibliographical, literary and historical approaches to the study of books within one theoretical paradigm. My research extends this interdisciplinary approach into the filmic medium by using a modified version of Robert Darnton’s “communication circuit” to examine the process of transmission of this Shakespearean film adaptation from creation to reception. The research is not intended as a complete Book History study and even less as a comprehensive investigation of William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice . Rather, it uses a Shakespearean case study to bring together the two previously discrete fields of Book History and filmic investigation. Drawing on film studies, literary concepts, cultural and media studies, modern management theory as well as reception theories and with the use of both quantitative and qualitative data, I show Book History to be an eminently useful and constructive approach to the study of film. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I want to thank the Mandela Rhodes Foundation for the funding that allowed me to undertake a Master’s degree.

  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

  • We Need to Talk About Subsidy: Television and the UK Film Industry – a Thirty-Year Relationship
    We Need To Talk About Subsidy: Television and the UK film industry – a thirty-year relationship. I want to conclude this panel by taking a broader perspective on the concept of film subsidy, as deployed by Film4 and BBC Films, respectively the film production arms of the UK’s major public broadcasters Channel 4 and the BBC. As well as indicating the distinctive features of this model within the economic structure of the UK film industry, the paper will offer some consideration of the kind of film product these interventions has tended to produce. It will conclude with an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of what I want to call the cultural subsidy model of film production, and raise some general questions arising from the relationship between the film and television industries. In 2010, having been producing feature films in one form or another for twenty years, the BBC (the UK’s unique flagship PSB), produced its first explicit film strategy: ‘There are three principal public sector bodies which support film: BBC Films, Film4 (part of Channel 4) and UK Film Council (UKFC) (now merged with BFI)… This set up has provided the British film industry with stability and plurality which has been very important in the development and sustainability of the industry over the last decade’ (BBC Films Strategy, 2010). The confidence with which it trumpeted its own role in contributing ‘stability and plurality’ to the British film industry belied its protracted soul-searching about whether cinema was something the licence fee should really be spent on. Long-held anxiety within the Corporation that the licence levied on every household that owns a TV set should be spent on television content rather than movies the public has to pay again to see at the cinema, characterised the BBC’s ambivalence about following the film sponsorship model pioneered by Channel 4 from 1982.

  • Enhanced Cartoon and Comic Rendering

Hansen Short Papers Enhanced Cartoon and Comic Rendering Martin Spindler † and Niklas Röber and Robert Döhring ‡ and Maic Masuch Department of Simulation and Graphics, Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg, Germany Abstract In this work we present an extension to common cel shading techniques, and describe four new cartoon-like ren- dering styles applicable for real-time implementations: stylistic shadows, double contour lines, soft cel shading, and pseudo edges. Our work was mainly motivated by the rich set of stylistic elements and expressional possibili- ties within the medium comic. In particular, we were inspired by Miller’s “Sin City” and McFarlane’s “Spawn”. We designed algorithms for these styles, developed a real-time implementation and integrated it into a regular 3D game engine.

    The Finance and Production of Independent Film and Television in the UK: A Critical Introduction Vital Statistics General Population: 64.1m Size: 241.9 km sq GDP: £1.9tr (€2.1tr) Film1 Market share of UK independent films in 2015: 10.5% Number of feature films produced: 201 Average visits to cinema per person per year: 2.7 Production spend per year: £1.4m (€1.6) TV2 Audience share of the main publicly-funded PSB (BBC): 72% Production spend by PSBs: £2.5bn (€3.2bn) Production spend by commercial channels (excluding sport): £350m (€387m) Time spent watching television per day: 193 minutes (3hrs 13 minutes) Introduction This chapter provides an overview of independent film and television production in the UK. Despite the unprecedented levels of convergence that characterise the digital era, the UK film and television industries remain distinct for several reasons. The film industry is small and fragmented, divided across the two opposing sources of support on which it depends: large but uncontrollable levels of ‘inward-investment’ – money invested in the UK from overseas – mainly from the US, and low levels of public subsidy. By comparison, the television industry is large and diverse, its relative stability underpinned by a long-standing infrastructure of 1 Sources: BFI 2016: 10; ‘The Box Office 2015’ [market share of UK indie films] ; BFI 2016: 6; ‘Exhibition’ [cinema visits per per person]; BFI 2016: 6; ‘Exhibition’ [average visits per person]; BFI 2016: 3; ‘Screen Sector Production’ [production spend per year]. 2 Sources: Oliver & Ohlbaum 2016: 68 [PSB audience share]; Ofcom 2015a: 3 [PSB production spend]; Ofcom 2015a: 8.

  • September/October 2014 at BFI Southbank
    September/October 2014 at BFI Southbank Al Pacino in Conversation with Salome & Wilde Salome, Jim Jarmusch and Friends, Peter Lorre, Night Will Fall, The Wednesday Play at 50 and Fela Kuti Al Pacino’s Salomé and Wilde Salomé based on Oscar Wilde’s play, will screen at BFI Southbank on Sunday 21 September and followed by a Q&A with Academy Award winner Al Pacino and Academy Award nominee Jessica Chastain that will be broadcast live via satellite to cinemas across the UK and Ireland. This unique event will be hosted by Stephen Fry. Jim Jarmusch was one of the key filmmakers involved in the US indie scene that flourished from the mid-70s to the late 90s. He has succeeded in remaining true to the spirit of independence, with films such as Stranger Than Paradise (1984), Dead Man (1995) and, most recently, Only Lovers Left Alive (2013). With the re-release of Down By Law (1986) as a centrepiece for the season, we will also look at films that have inspired Jarmusch A Century of Chinese Cinema: New Directions will celebrate the sexy, provocative and daring work by acclaimed contemporary filmmakers such as Wong Kar-wai, Jia Zhangke, Wang Xiaoshuai and Tsai Ming-liang. These directors built on the innovations of the New Wave era and sparked a renewed global interest in Chinese cinema into the new millennium André Singer’s powerful new documentary Night Will Fall (2014) reveals for the first time the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps and the efforts made by army and newsreel cameramen to document the almost unbelievable scenes encountered there.
