Podcasting Basics Before you get started, it is important to understand some of the terminology and uses surrounding the emerging field of podcasting. Podcasting is a term derived from the combination of the words “iPod” and “broadcasting,” and is defined as the distribution of audio or video files, such as radio programs or music clips, over the Internet. This is accomplished by using one of two syndication techniques that allow users to access media on such portable media devices as smart phones, tablets, MP3 players, and laptop computers. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and Atom are Web content syndication formats written in XML that provide either podcast content or summaries that link to content and additional file information. Podcast is a feed of audio or video files placed on the Internet for public access. Anyone can subscribe to the feed and download the media files. This allows you to collect programs from a wide range of sources for listening or viewing media content, either online or offline with your computer or an appropriate portable device.

  • Hiperencuadre/Hiperrelato: Apuntes Para Una Narratologia Del Film Postclásico1
    Hiperencuadre/Hiperrelato: Apuntes para una narratologia del film postclásico1 Jose Antonio Palao Errando Universitat Jaume I de Castelló [email protected] Resumen: El discurso cinematográfico no ha dejado de luchar por adaptarse y competir con las pantallas rivales que le han surgido con la revolución digital, lo cual ha transformado su propia textura. Podemos clasificar estas transformaciones en dos grandes órdenes. Por un lado, la puesta en escena y la propia concepción del raccord han dado lugar a lo que denominaremos hiperencuadre, en el que la pantalla fílmica se ofrece como receptáculo de todas las pantallas con las que rivaliza (ordenador, vídeos de vigilancia, imágines de satélite, etc.). Por otro lado, el cine posclásico opta por la deconstrucción de la linealidad narrativa y el despliegue de distintas tramas y niveles de acción y representación que nos llevan a la noción de hiperrelato. Palabras clave: Hiperencuadre, Hiperrelato, Pantalla, Hipernúcleo, Narratología. Abstract: The film discourse has constantly fought to adapt and struggle with the competitor screens that have arisen with the digital revolution, which has transformed its own texture. We can sort these transformations in two large kinds. On the one hand, the staging and conception of the raccord have given rise to what we'll denominate hyperframe, in which the cinematic screen is being offered as enclosure of all the screens that contends with (computer, video surveillance, satellite images, etc. ). On the other hand, the cinema postclassic chooses the deconstruction of the narrative linearity and the deployment of different plots and levels of action and representation that lead us to the notion of hipernarration.

  • The General Idea Behind Editing in Narrative Film Is the Coordination of One Shot with Another in Order to Create a Coherent, Artistically Pleasing, Meaningful Whole
    Chapter 4: Editing Film 125: The Textbook © Lynne Lerych The general idea behind editing in narrative film is the coordination of one shot with another in order to create a coherent, artistically pleasing, meaningful whole. The system of editing employed in narrative film is called continuity editing – its purpose is to create and provide efficient, functional transitions. Sounds simple enough, right?1 Yeah, no. It’s not really that simple. These three desired qualities of narrative film editing – coherence, artistry, and meaning – are not easy to achieve, especially when you consider what the film editor begins with. The typical shooting phase of a typical two-hour narrative feature film lasts about eight weeks. During that time, the cinematography team may record anywhere from 20 or 30 hours of film on the relatively low end – up to the 240 hours of film that James Cameron and his cinematographer, Russell Carpenter, shot for Titanic – which eventually weighed in at 3 hours and 14 minutes by the time it reached theatres. Most filmmakers will shoot somewhere in between these extremes. No matter how you look at it, though, the editor knows from the outset that in all likelihood less than ten percent of the film shot will make its way into the final product. As if the sheer weight of the available footage weren’t enough, there is the reality that most scenes in feature films are shot out of sequence – in other words, they are typically shot in neither the chronological order of the story nor the temporal order of the film.

E-MAIL: [email protected] (recommended) or www.facebook.com/gregpen PHONE : (619) 985-7715 TEXT: Modern Post Workflows and Techniques – Scott Arundale & Tashi Trieu – Focal Press Highly Recommended but Not Required: The Film Editing Room Handbook, Hollyn, Norman, Peachpit Press COURSE PREREQUISITES: TFM 314 or similar COURSE OBJECTIVES: You will study classical examples of editing techniques by means of video clips as well as selected readings and active lab assignments. You will also will be able to describe and demonstrate modern post-production practices which consist of the Digital Loader/Digital Imaging Technician (DIT), data management and digital dailies. You will comprehend, analyze and apply advanced practices in offline editing, online/conforming and color grading. You will be able to demonstrate proficiency in using non-linear editing software by editing individually assigned commercials, short narrative scenes and skill-based exercises. You will identify and analyze past, present and future trends in post-production. Students will also learn how to identify historically significant figures and their techniques as related to defining techniques and trends in post-production practices of television and film and distill your accumulated knowledge of post-production techniques by assembling a final master project. COURSE DESCRIPTION: Film editing evolved from the process of physically cutting and taping together pieces of film, using a viewer such as a Moviola or Steenbeck to look at the results. This course approaches the concept of editing holistically as a process of artistic synthesis rather than strictly as a specialized technical skill.

  • Implementing a Parametric EQ Plug-In in C++ Using the Multi-Platform VST Specification
    2003:044 C EXTENDED ESSAY Implementing a parametric EQ plug-in in C++ using the multi-platform VST specification JONAS EKEROOT SCHOOL OF MUSIC Audio Technology Supervisor: Jan Berg 2003:044 • ISSN: 1402 – 1773 • ISRN: LTU - CUPP - - 03/44 - - SE Implementing a parametric EQ plug-in in C++ using the multi-platform VST specification Jonas Ekeroot Division of Sound Recording School of Music in Pite˚a Lule˚aUniversity of Technology April 23, 2003 Abstract As the processing power of desktop computer systems increase by every year, more and more real-time audio signal processing is per- formed on such systems. What used to be done in external effects units, e.g. adding reverb, can now be accomplished within the com- puter system using signal processing code modules – plug-ins. This thesis describes the development of a peak/notch parametric EQ VST plug-in. First a prototype was made in the graphical audio program- ming environment Max/MSP on MacOS, and then a C++ implemen- tation was made using the VST Software Development Kit. The C++ source code was compiled on both Windows and MacOS, resulting in versions of the plug-in that can be used in any VST host application on Windows and MacOS respectively. Writing a plug-in relieves the programmer of the burden to deal directly with audio interface details and graphical user interface specifics, since this is taken care of by the host application. It can thus be an interesting way to start developing audio DSP algorithms, since the host application also provides the op- portunity to listen to and measure the performance of the implemented plug-in algorithm.
