CULT3020 Production Project
Course topics
WIkipedia/Wikis
To what extent is Wikipedia useful/reliable?
Important role in breaking down barriers between user and content
Social Bookmarking/Folksonomy
Redefines search criteria/challenges search engines method of operation
Particularly relevant in music classification
Research style analysis of the effects of Facebook?
Creative interpretation of Facebook?
Remix Culture
To what extent are mash-ups creative art?
Use Audacity/Jazzware to create example
Production Tools
Delicious
Best website for social bookmarking
Brilliant for research but unlikely to come into play here
Toondoo
Simple to use, brilliant final results
Still difficult for me to create convincing toons
Would be even better if there were toon templates you could use in Toonbooks
Slideshare
Very useful as an intermediate program
Makes it far easy to publish slide shows and videos
Jazzware
Brilliant tool for online production/creation within the field of music
Allows existing songs to be played with when downloaded in MIDI form
Audacity
Allows for extensive editing and manipulation of existing tracks
Good for creating synchronized soundtracks to videos
Mindomo
Obviously useful but limited
Good for brainstorming, but unlikely to be used again
Prezi
More capabilities than Powerpoint, but harder to operate
Powerpoint
Great for information presentation
Great for collecting images together - Use in tandem with Aviary/photoshop?
Windows Movie-Maker
Versatile way of combining video/photo and sound editing tools into a single presentatation
Paint
Simplistic image creation/manipulation
Aviary
Possibly the best photo manipulation program, even over Photoshop
Very bulky as a program - basically impossible to run at home
BeFunky
My favourite - Simplicity in taking one image and doing something cool
Extremely limited when using Demo version
