Research

1) Primary research is research that does not exist until you create it. It's the collection of data that does not exist. It may be done through experiments or case studies. It's research that you have done yourself instead of getting it from another source.

2) Secondary research is the collection of data from existing research which may come from the Internet or the library. It is research from a different source other than your own. It is also called desk research.

3) Time lapse is when a camera is set to take images every few seconds. Then the images are put together to create a time lapse. It records changes that take place slowly over time. When the frames are shown in normal time it appears faster.

4) Today we produced a stop motion animation of a series of hand movements. The camera took an image every 2 seconds. I worked with Josh and Emily in creating the stop motion animation and the program we used was IStopMotion, a program for Mac computers used for creating these types of movies.

5) This was the video that we produced:




6) This is a video produced by another person in the class, Timothy.

22nd September - StopMotion Animation

Today I made a stop motion animation movie. This is where a load of pictures are taken every few seconds and put together to make it look like it's moving but it actually isn't. me and my group made a movie doing hand movements while the program took pictures every 2 seconds. The video we made lasted 20 seconds. The Stop Motion Animation technique can also be used to make it look like an object is moving on it's own. There are programs that can do this including iStopMotion, which was used to create the movie today, but others are Stop Motion Pro which works with Windows.

Primary research is when you research something on your own, this can be from your own personal experience or other people's experiences. Secondary research is when you use something like the Internet or library to do research.

Persistence of Vision


Persistence of vision is a trick which fools the brain into seeing moving video when presented with still images at a rate of 10-30 FPS (Frames Per Second).
