  • Photo Journalism, Film and Animation
    Syllabus – Photo Journalism, Films and Animation Photo Journalism: Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that employs images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, but in some cases the term also refers to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (e.g., documentary photography, social documentary photography, street photography or celebrity photography) by complying with a rigid ethical framework which demands that the work be both honest and impartial whilst telling the story in strictly journalistic terms. Photojournalists create pictures that contribute to the news media, and help communities connect with one other. Photojournalists must be well informed and knowledgeable about events happening right outside their door. They deliver news in a creative format that is not only informative, but also entertaining. Need and importance, Timeliness The images have meaning in the context of a recently published record of events. Objectivity The situation implied by the images is a fair and accurate representation of the events they depict in both content and tone. Narrative The images combine with other news elements to make facts relatable to audiences. Like a writer, a photojournalist is a reporter, but he or she must often make decisions instantly and carry photographic equipment, often while exposed to significant obstacles (e.g., physical danger, weather, crowds, physical access). subject of photo picture sources, Photojournalists are able to enjoy a working environment that gets them out from behind a desk and into the world.

  • 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.

  • A Short Learning Css3 Animations
    A SHORT LEARNING CSS3 ANIMATIONS What is CSS3 Animations? With CSS animations now upheld in both Firefox and Webkit programs, there is no better time to try it out. Despite its specialized structure, whether customary, machine created 3-D, Flash or CSS, animation dependably takes after the same fundamental standards. In this article, we will make our first strides with CSS animations and consider the primary rules for making animation with CSS. We'll be working through an illustration, developing the animation by using the standards of conventional animations. Nowdays, so many options are available for learning css3 animation concepts and effects.CSS animation is used to add more effective and eye-catching website. At last, we'll see some certifiable utilization. CSS Animation Properties Before jumping into the subtle elements, how about setting up the fundamental CSS and learning CSS3 Animations: Animation is another CSS property that takes into consideration activity of most HTML components, (for example, div, h1 and compass) without Javascript or Flash. Right now, it's underpinned in Webkit programs, including Safari 4+, Safari for (ios 2+), Chrome 1+ and, all the more as of late, Firefox 5. Unsupported programs will just overlook your animation code, so guarantee that your page doesn't depend on it! Since the development is still moderately new, prefixes for the program merchants are needed. As such, the linguistic structure is precisely the same for every program, with just a prefix change needed. In the code cases beneath, the -webkit language structure has been used. The most recent Css3 properties have opened a large number of new routes to web originators and engineers.

  • GKS-94 to SVG: Some Reflections on the Evolution of Standards for 2D
    EG UK Computer Graphics & Visual Computing (2015) Rita Borgo, Cagatay Turkay (Editors) GKS-94 to SVG: Some Reflections on the Evolution of Standards for 2D Graphics D. A. Duce1 and F.R.A. Hopgood2 1Department of Computing and Communication Technologies, Oxford Brookes University, UK 2Retired, UK Abstract Activities to define international standards for computer graphics, in particular through ISO/IEC, started in the 1970s. The advent of the World Wide Web has brought new requirements and opportunities for standardization and now a variety of bodies including ISO/IEC and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) promulgate standards in this space. This paper takes a historical look at one of the early ISO/IEC standards for 2D graphics, the Graph- ical Kernel System (GKS) and compares key concepts and approaches in this standard (as revised in 1994) with concepts and approaches in the W3C Recommendation for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). The paper reflects on successes as well as lost opportunities. Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3.6 [Computer Graphics]: Methodology and Techniques—Standards 1.
