Unit 2 revision

Use annotations for the question where they ask to draw a pre-production document/ diagram. 

Storyboard conventions (use these when drawing it out in an exam- minimum 5 conventions):

  • Number each box
  • Say how long (time) each shot lasts: make sure it adds up to the time the exam tells you
  • Camera shots, angles, movements
  • Brief description of what's happening in each shot
  • Draw something linking to the description
  • Something to do with music
  • Something to do with special effects (sfx)

Mindmap conventions:

  • Topic in the middle
  • Branches 
  • Nodes, sub-nodes
  • Justifications
Wireframes:
  • Logo place holder
  • Header and footer
  • Primary and secondary image placeholder
  • sample text/ body copy
  • hex codes- what will appear when clicking on a button.

Mood board conventions (unlikely to come up): 
  • Draw boxes and use heavy annotations 
Sitemaps- not a visual layout, layout for a coder: 
Biggest box- home page button
Login/ sign up
Basket
Contact- social media and email/ phone
Women, men- will be linked so its easy to change between the two pages
More general content to come off the branches

Data protection act, because the website stores data from users. This must be stored safely and correctly.

Legal issues

Example: Johnny Depp case- libel, the Sun said he was a sexual assaulter and got dropped from films but it was obviously untrue, Rebel Wilson: people said she lied about her age and degree/ education and it wasn't true so she sued them and won.
Types:
Slander: spoken
Libel: written

Journalists don't have to reveal their sources
The police cannot keep your DNA, finger print etc if you're found innocent in a case
