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